I saw other posts like this that explain how to debug with gdb. But it still wont work with me. I installed the following extensions:
I created the following launch.json:
{
"version": "0.2.0",
"configurations": [
{
"name": "Run GDB",
"type": "cppdbg",
"request": "launch",
"program": "${workspaceFolder}\run.exe",
"args": [],
"stopAtEntry": false,
"cwd": "${workspaceFolder}",
"externalConsole": false,
"MIMode": "gdb",
"preLaunchTask": "compile_with_gfortran"
}
]
}
and the following tasks.json
{
"version": "2.0.0",
"tasks": [
{
"label": "compile_with_gfortran",
"type": "shell",
"command": "gfortran -o run.exe example.f90 -g",
"options": {
"cwd": "${workspaceFolder}"
},
"group": {
"kind": "build",
"isDefault": true
}
}
]
}
Both json files are inside the folder .vscode. By hitting shift-ctrl-B the task builds correctly and creates the executable. When I click F5 to start the compiler, the preLaunchTask runs, the compiling buttons (step in etc...) show up but nothing attaches to the Fortran file, although I added breakpoints into proper locations. And nothing shows up in the debug console. Any suggestion?

I am following the tutorial here which shows how to use the VS C++ in Visual Studio Code.
Everything runs smoothly. The only problem is the auto-generated files (.lnk, .pdb, .exe and the likes) get generated in my src itself. How do I get the task to generate an output folder and store the auto-generated files there?
tasks.json:
{
"version": "2.0.0",

"${file}"
],
"problemMatcher": ["$msCompile"],
"group": {
"kind": "build",
"isDefault": true
}
}
]
}
launch.json:

"version": "0.2.0",

I'm trying to build and run C code with vscode on windows 10.
I've gone through the vscode doc for mingw configuration, followed the steps there and managed to run a .c file with vscode.
However, there's still an issue yet.
each time run my program via "Run | Run Without Debugging", the panel switches automatically to "TERMINAL"
So I have to switch to the DEBUG CONSOLE manually each time I run the code, which is tediously boring.
Is there a way to keep the "DEBUG CONSOLE" panel active or show the output of my program in "TERMINAL" panel
I also tried the suggestion in another stackoverflow post, but it doesn't work for me.

Here is my tasks.json

"-o",
"${fileDirname}\\${fileBasenameNoExtension}.exe"

"group": {

}

Here is my launch.json

How do I make vs code put the output of my c program in TERMINAL panel?
You can use Code Runner with some simple configuration.
Install Code Runner.
Type Ctrl + Shift + P
Search and open Open Settings(JSON)
Add the following json snippets to your settings.json:
"code-runner.runInTerminal": true
Every time you want to run your c code, just type the icon from the upper right corner that Code Runner provide.
For step 4, you can also open vscode settings and change it on GUI.

I'm trying to build c++ program using by VSCode.
when the run build, VSCode showing this message.
I know build tasking need matching launch.json file's preLaunchTask with tasks.json file's label. and I'm already set it.

The problem is, if I change the "type" value in tasks.json, from shell to cppbuild, It doesn't work and show the error message like to.
showing error message when the run build
what is different "cppbuild" and "shell"? and What should I do how using "cppbuild" value?
Te values of cppbuild are fine. Try changing in launch.json the value:
"preLaunchTask": "C/C++: g++ build active file",
to:
"preLaunchTask": "cppbuild",
The difference between shell and cppbuild is that the first open the BASH and runs a command you write, the second, cppbuild, runs an specific binary (or program).
I've tried many different ways but I get the error MSBUILD : error MSB1003: Specify a project or solution file. The current working directory does not contain a project or solution file. in Visual Studio code when trying to run my Net Core.
I think I have this configured correctly. The project builds with no errors. I even tried building a new empty project and still get the error.

I have installed the C\C++ Windows extension. The my_project.vscode\launch.json looks like this;
{
"version": "0.2.0",
"configurations": [
{
"name": "(Windows) Launch",
"type": "cppvsdbg",
"request": "launch",
"program": "${workspaceFolder}/target/debug/my_project.exe",
"args": [],
"stopAtEntry": false,
"cwd": "${fileDirname}",
"environment": [],
"console": "externalTerminal"
}
]
}
When I run I get
Error processing 'configurationDone' request. Unable to start the Microsoft Visual Studio Debug Console.
The Debug Console is showing at the bottom of the screen.
