Unable to find GDB in default search path and

[H-G-Hristov]

Type: Bug

I am not sure if this is a real issue or I have a bad configuration. Whenever I click on the {bug} icon in the status bar I get:

Unable to find GDB in default search path and /opt/homebrew/opt/ccache/libexec/lldb.

It is working for me if I start debugging form the side bar.

It was supposed to be fixed:

• Don't guess the debugger if it is already provided #1102
• Unable to find GDB in default search path and /usr/local/bin/lldb-9 #1060

[bobbrow]

Clicking the bug icon in the status bar ("quick debug") doesn't use your configurations from launch.json. There is a setting cmake.debugConfig where you can override our heuristics if the quick debug feature is unable to determine the correct debugger. The available properties should match what is supported by the cppdbg and cppvsdbg debug types.

Example:

  "cmake.debugConfig": {
    "MIMode": "lldb"
  }
