Hopefully some can help me to nail this down. I am using Eclipse IDE for ESP-IDF projects. Everything works as expected, however variables do not show their real values. I have tried many options like using various openOCD versions. I tried out ESP-IDF using VScode with exactly the same result. Everything works, just the variables shown are anything then to what they really set.
As this problem persists throughout various IDE's, toolchain and openOCD versions I am wondering what that could be.
Anyone any idea what to do?

I cannot load or run my tests, from within VS Code.
I'm a new user to Elixir, and to VS Code. I'm running Lubuntu 21.10 (Impish). I've downloaded Erlang/OTP 25 (.deb), and Elixir 1.14 (precompiled binary in /usr/share/elixir), and can get anything I need running in a Bash terminal. Again, in a standard QTerminal window,
erl, iex, mix, elixir, etc. all work fine.
In VS Code, however, I get some errors. I feel stupid, but I'm coming from Sublime Text, so please forgive me.
In the left pane of VS Code, ExUnit shows an error (red):
Clicking on this error gives me this, on the bottom right pane. The command line options, passed to mix test, seem to be the default configuration:
This result is bizarre to me, because I can open the integrated terminal, execute /bin/sh, and then run the exact mix test line that's displayed:
/usr/share/elixir/bin has been added to my PATH variable, in ~/.bashrc, ~/.profile, and /etc/environment.
However, I am further confused by all tests being excluded, and wonder if there's some connection to the core issue:
Note that I can run my tests just fine, using different command line options. I've tried adding tags, but that didn't fix the problem.
I tried Google'ing this, and played around with my settings. Here is what I have configured in the "User" settings.json, and I made sure nothing overrides this in "Workspace" settings:
Changing the useNativeTesting setting doesn't solve the problem.
On another (?) note, I get a "failed to run elixir" upon VS Code startup:
Again, I have no problem running commands from a Linux terminal, or from a terminal within VS Code.
Plot twist: If I remove the precompiled Elixir 1.14, and downgrade to an older version, via apt, the problem goes away. But Lubuntu 21.10 doesn't offer Elixir 1.14, and I'm really into using the new dbg() feature.
But for now, I cannot load or run my tests, from within VS Code, apparently because Mix cannot be found.
Thanks to Daniel Imms, from the VS Code team, for answering my question on Twitter:
"Try moving where ever you init mix and elixir (.bashrc?) into your .bash_profile and then logging out and in again or restarting. I'm guessing it's in your bashrc which doesn't run in non-interactive sessions like in tasks."
I recently got a new computer and reinstalled visual studio code but I haven't been able to run any of my files. The error has occurred with both python and C++, so I feel as though it is the IDE that is the problem. I have looked online and there are no straight answers as I have tried following some solutions which have resulted in different errors.
The error above comes up when I run (F5) a simple line of code in c++. Does anyone have a solution?
Thanks, Jacob
[EDIT]
For my python files to work I have to manually select 'Python: current file' but for c++ files they still have the same error.
First step, uninstall python from this machine.
Second, reinstall and make sure that you check the box "add to path".
It's pretty easy to miss as it's a small box, and I missed it my first time installing python earlier in the year. Here's the box you may have missed while installing.
It could be your extensions.
I had a similar error message and simply updated all of my extensions and then my SDK. I was then able to run my code within the IDE. I was using VSCode for c++ and also updated my GCC compiler along with the extensions.
Also look into your computer's environment variables, if you have changed the %PATH variables it may be affecting your ability to run/compile programs.
This is not a duplicate of How do I open multiple instances of Visual Studio Code?.
My previous question, How can I make Visual Studio Code's auto-complete suggestions appear more quickly? explains my problem.
I was using VSC with the PlatformIo plugin for embedded development for a few months with no problem. Then I started on Flutter/Dart and soon had a problem with auto-suggest being really slow.
It could be that I just loaded a duff plug-in (I am adding them back, one by one, to see if/when it "breaks"), but ... I am considering doing all development in VCS, so as to have a single IDE.
I am currently using Eclipse for C/C++ and PHP, WebStorm for AngualrJs and PyCharm for Python.
I had previously used Eclipse for everything, and had a different copy of Eclipse for each language, each with its own plugins.
Since I will be developing in 4 or 5 languages, even if I don't hit a problem as bad as I just did, adding plug-ins for that many languages into a single IDE will inevitably slow things down.
So, question: can I have multiple installs of VSC, each with its own plug-ins, and launch them separately?
I solved this problem on windows using vs code portable.
I created a folder at the root of my machine with subfolders for each language, inside each I put the vs code, then I created a data folder inside each of them so that the information was stored locally, I modified the name of the executables and added it to the path.
As an example, to access a vscode configured for python I put code-python . at the terminal.
I Have the idea watching this video, it may help you (it is in portuguese, but you can see more os less what it does).
After upgrading to Python 3.6, Eclipse debug mode stopped working properly. It renders an error like this:
The strangest thing is that this issue does not raise in 100% of cases. Sometimes it goes away. And then again arises. I am lost trying to figure out why.
Although it happens when you're running the PyDev debugger, the debugger is probably only exercising some path in your code which has a bug and is usually not exercised (and thus leads to such an error).
In this case, attach a c/c++ debugger to the program to find the culprit (you can use the attach to after that error is hit)... On Windows you can use Visual C++ and on Linux GDB.
-- as a note, the issue is probably on some c/c++ library you're using (but given the info, it's really hard to pinpoint anything).
I have a strange problem when using Pydev on my work machine (others at work have the same issue). It does not occur when I do this at home, which makes me think it's something to do with the environment at work. We are running Windows 7.
I am using Pydev 3.9.2 but the same thing happens with earlier versions. It occurs with all versions of Eclipse after 3.7. The problem is this. When I create a jython console (the one running in the Eclipse VM), the error output doesn't work. If I type an invalid python command, there is no output on the console. It just appears that the command worked. If I type a command such as "print 100", the output prints as you would expect.
The second problem is that if I hit the red square which is supposed to remove the console window, Eclipse crashes. There are no errors or any indication of what is going wrong.
I have tried different versons of eclipse, different versions of Pydev, different machines and it doesnt make any difference.
Has anyone seen this? I've tried everything I can think of to debug this issue so any help is appreciated.
thanks,
brian
Unfortunately those quirks are expected...
The internal console in Eclipse is mostly a developers SDK for experimenting with Eclipse itself and is not meant as a general shell (you should configure an interpreter and use it for that).
I don't have plans on improving on that situation (there's already a multi-year backlog on PyDev and this isn't really critical), but if you'd be willing to spend some time and fix those issues, pull requests would be definitely welcome -- see: http://pydev.org/manual.html for details on getting the code and setting up the environment.
