I have configured g++/gdb and VSCode on my computer as per a class, however I have been getting a strange error when attempting to Run/Debug a task. In the VSCode terminal it outputs
The terminal process failed to launch: Path to shell executable "cmd.exe" does not exist.
In my PATH, I added cmd.exe to it thinking that would fix it, but to no avail. Does anyone know what could be causing this and how to fix it? Thank you!

I have been encountering this issue for a while an haven't been able to find a specific solution to my unique problem. Some context for my issue is that I have been using cd to get into the directory that I want to open up in vscode and once I am inside the directory I used the command line to open VSCode using code . However, whenever I use this command, VSCode opens up with the folder name view on the left side however none of the files are retrieved. Additionally, an error message is being outputted in my CLI saying the following:
shell-init: error retrieving current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories: Operation not permitted
job-working-directory: error retrieving current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories: Operation not permitted
Some solutions that I have seen to this error are that I am changing directories into a directory that no longer exists; However, this is not the case with the directory I am in because I can still see it in my finder (I am using the documents path). Some other solutions that I saw were to kill my terminal and try again but that also didn't work. Some background is that I am on Mac OS Monterey M1 Chip and on VSCode version 1.67.2. Here are some pictures that might aid in helping me solve this problem
This is my terminal with the commands I am using

If anyone has any insight that may be of use I would greatly appreciate it!

Can anyone say how to debug it
It seems like your kotlin directory is not added to your PATH variable thus the extension/terminal may not know what to execute, when trying to execute kotlinc.
The easiest way to resolve this issue is by adding the path to your kotlin directory (path/to/your/kotlin/bin) to your PATH variable
(see here), if you are on windows, or here, if you are on a linux system.
You can check, if it works by opening a command line window and trying to execute
kotlinc -version
However, as it seems like you are using Code-Runner extension in vscode, you can also update your settings.json file:

I'm bumping into a weird vscode issue. I use vscode to ssh into my EC2 instance. I primarily use bazel as the dependency management and build system for development. I installed buildifier, and included in my path variable however vscode still doesn't detect it. If I type buildifier <some bazel build file> in the terminal in vscode, it works perfectly, but if I try to use the formatting shortcut on the file using vscode, it doesn't. I went to the extension settings, and in the remote settings I explicitly put buildifier as the executable command. Still not working. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
It's likely that the path you've set is set somewhere that the vscode remote server isn't looking. So it might be in your shell path but not the vscode remote servers path when it starts up.
As a workaround find the full path of buildifier e.g.
whereis buildifier
Then simply copy past the full path of buildifier into your settings under the Bazel: Buildifier Executable section.
Flutter path is correct but still unable to be recognized by the windows command prompt. Looked everywhere asked anyone who used flutter still unable to figure out the problem.
Tried suggestions made on other questions similar to this still no luck and followed the tutorials on installing flutter did not work.
For Windows users (Windows 10)
Open Start menu and type env
Click on Environment Variables..
under User variables, select Path then click Edit
Click New then past this line C:\src\flutter\bin(supposing this is where 'bin' directory of Flutter is located on your machine)
Click 'OK'.
Restart is required to apply changes.
The command prompt you're using appears to be using elevated permissions and therefore will have the "system" environment variables but not your user ones necessarily. Try with a non-elevated command prompt... which you should be using anyways. Only use an elevated command prompt when absolutely needed as otherwise you could delete important things by accident. Also, you can run echo %PATH% to see what is actually in the path in the command prompt you're using.
If you want to use flutter across multiple users or need to use an elevated command prompt for some reason, add the path to flutter/bin to the system environment variables instead.
Adding the following things in the path solved the issue for me
C:\Program Files\Git\bin
C:\Program Files\Git\cmd
C:\Windows\System32
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0
C:\src\flutter\bin
For windows user make sure to include C:\Windows\System32 in your user PATH variable,this prevents the flutter command prompt from flashing when you click it.
I'm having a very weird issue with the command line and running Ant. I point the path variable at the location of my Ant bin directory (C:\Ant\bin) and when i go into a command window and type PATH it shows the location in it. But when I go to run Ant by typing "ant" it does nothing and states that it isn't recognized. But when I go to the run window (Windows+R) and type "ant" it runs it.
I have restarted Windows twice and the problem still persists. I am running Windows Vista Ultimate with SP1 installed. I have tried "Running as Administrator" with no difference.
Any one experience anything like this before?
Sometimes you can set a system-wide (or even just personal) Environment Variable and it'll cure it, as opposed to just setting it in your shell.
Go to the Control-panel, then System, then Advanced, and look for the button on Environment Variables. From there, you can follow your nose.
Good luck.
Ant also depends on Java to be on the path. Do you have that?
I would also check to make sure the environment variables ANT_HOME and JAVA_HOME are set up properly in the console.
Is there any chance that the command window you are trying to run Ant in is a different window to the cmd windwo where you set up and verify that its in the path? If the PATH is updated after a cmd window is already open it won't recongnise the change. Not clear if that might be your issue.
If you are in the dir C:\Ant\bin and type "ant" does it recognise it?
