VSCode launch.json for vagrant plugin - visual-studio-code

Question

I try to set up a launch.json for a vagrant-plugin on windows. My current version look like this:
{
"version": "0.2.0",
"configurations": [
{
"name": "Launch Vagrant",
"type": "Ruby",
"request": "launch",
"cwd": "${workspaceRoot}",
"program": "${workspaceRoot}/bin/vagrant",
"args": ["up"],
"env": {
"VAGRANT_CWD": "${workspaceRoot}/development"
}
}
]
}
When starting the plugin now, vagrant misses the external dependencies. So I get the error:
The executable 'curl' Vagrant is trying to run was not
found in the %PATH% variable. This is an error. Please verify
this software is installed and on the path.
Adding the needed dependencies to my path sound like trouble (cp.exe, dir.exe, ...).
I tried:
"env": {
"PATH": "/HashiCorp/Vagrant/embedded/bin;${PATH}",
"VAGRANT_CWD": "${workspaceRoot}/development"
}
But then i get Debugger terminal error: Process failed: spawn rdebug-ide.bat ENOENT.
Is there a way the expend the PATH environment Variable in the launch.json?

Answer 1

For the question of:
Is there a way the expend the PATH environment Variable in the
launch.json?
From the documentation:
You can also reference environment variables through ${env.Name} (e.g.
${env.PATH}). Be sure to match the environment variable name's casing,
for example env.Path on Windows.
At: http://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/tasks#_variable-substitution
For example I often use this for Ruby apps in my launch.json in Visual Studio Code:
...
"pathToBundler": "${env.HOME}/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.3.0/wrappers/bundle",
...

#sschoof If you are trying to run VS Code from the windows host machine I'd suggest reading this post.
I've current just started configuring a development workspace for use with nodejs, VS Code, and Azure using my Mac OSX host. My solution is working but I have not a done a windows implementation so I currently cannot offer more experienced advice.
