I have an issue with launch a cpp project file with vscode, here is my error
launch program {workspace domain}\build\Debug\outDebug does not exist.
and that's true, but i want to know can I add a parameter to my launch.json file or edit it, to work like : if a there is no directory to put the build file into it, so make it!
is it possible to do that ?
here is my launch.json file source
{
"version": "0.2.0",
"configurations": [
{
"name": "C/C++ Runner: Debug Session",
"type": "cppdbg",
"request": "launch",
"args": [],
"stopAtEntry": false,
"cwd": "o:\\Developing\\Projects\\Training\\c++\\School",
"environment": [],
"program": "o:\\Developing\\Projects\\Training\\c++\\School\\build\\Debug\\outDebug",

"setupCommands": [

"text": "-enable-pretty-printing",

}
]
}
]
}
See docs:

May be there is solve.

I just have a quick question:
EDIT: This is run under Ubuntu 20.04 WSL2 using Visual Studio Code.
So I am debugging a kernel for gdb and the symbol files require that GDB is launched in the project directory, but the problem is GDB keep launching in the location of the program:
-exec pwd
Working directory /home/user/project-directory/obj/kern
I need GDB to stay in the project-directory:/home/user/project-directory
In the VSCode launch.json file, I made a workaround by adding a custom launch setup as shown below:
{
"version": "0.2.0",
"configurations": [
{
"name": "Debug Kernel",
"type": "cppdbg",
"request": "launch",
"program": "${workspaceRoot}/obj/kern/kernel",
"args": [],
"stopAtEntry": false,
"cwd": "${workspaceFolder}",
"environment": [],
"externalConsole": false,
"MIMode": "gdb",
"printCalls": true,
"showDevDebugOutput": true,
"setupCommands": [
{
"description": "Change back to the workspace folder",
"text": "cd ${workspaceRoot}",
"ignoreFailures": true
},
{
"description": "Enable pretty-printing for gdb",
"text": "-enable-pretty-printing",
"ignoreFailures": true
}
],
// "preLaunchTask": "Launch Qemu (no graphic)",
"miDebuggerPath": "/usr/bin/gdb",
"miDebuggerArgs": "",
"targetArchitecture": "x86_64",
"customLaunchSetupCommands": [
{
"text": "target remote localhost:1234",
"description": "Connect to QEMU remote debugger"
},
{
"text": "symbol-file obj/kern/kernel",
"description": "Get kernel symbols"
},
// {
// "text": "set architecture i8086",
// "description": "Sets the current architecture"
// }
],
"avoidWindowsConsoleRedirection": true
}
]
}
The ${workspaceFolder} and ${workspaceRoot} are located in the project's directory, but without the setup to change back into the workspace folder, it won't work. Any tips would be appreciated!
I am switching to VSCode from MetaEditor to develop for MetaTrader4.
I'm using MetaTrader4 and MetaEditor in Linux via Wine.
(and MetaEditor runs quite terribly in Wine)
I would like to create a task to compile the code, and hopefully return the same error log to VSCode to further debug the code as if I was using MetaEditor.
I've used this post to figure out what CLI command has been used to compile MQL4:
Compiling MQL4 via command line through wine metaeditor.exe
/usr/bin/wine /path/to/MT4/metaeditor.exe /compile:"Z:\path\to\MT4\MQL4\Experts\Foo\Bar_EA.mq4" /include:"Z:\path\to\MT4\MQL4" /log
My issue is that I don't understand and cannot find any resource that explains what the "commands" inside the tasks.json file does or list of available variables. Like "/include:" or "presentation":, ${file}, etc.
So I took some guesses and I pieced it together to look something like this so far:
{
"version": "2.0.0",
"tasks": [
{
"label": "MQL4 Compile",
"type": "shell",
"command": "/usr/bin/wine /.wine/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/FXChoice MetaTrader 4/metaeditor.exe",
"args": [
"/compile:${file}"
]
}
]
}
Its probably not quite right.
I appreciate your help, thank you
{

"tasks":

{
"label": "MQL4-Compile",

]
},

]
},
}
]
}
I would like to add two scripts("debugOptions": ["RedirectOutput"],"console": "none") into launch.json like below. However, when I create a new file, this setting would become default again. How can I set to let my every new file have these two scripts ?
"version": "0.2.0",
"configurations": [
{
"name": "Python: Current File",
"type": "python",
"request": "launch",
"program": "${file}",
"debugOptions": ["RedirectOutput"],
"console": "none"
},
I'm trying to compile c++ inside VS Code.
I have MinGW installed.
I've followed the steps in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rFdJ68WbkdQ
And the steps at the "getting started" docs https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/languages/cpp
Actually, my config shows like this:
{
"configurations": [
{
"name": "Mac",
"includePath": [
"/usr/include",
"/usr/local/include",
"${workspaceRoot}"
],
"defines": [],
"intelliSenseMode": "clang-x64",
"browse": {
"path": [
"/usr/include",
"/usr/local/include",
"${workspaceRoot}"
],
"limitSymbolsToIncludedHeaders": true,
"databaseFilename": ""
},
"macFrameworkPath": [
"/System/Library/Frameworks",
"/Library/Frameworks"
]
},
{
"name": "Linux",
"includePath": [
"/usr/include",
"/usr/local/include",
"${workspaceRoot}"
],
"defines": [],
"intelliSenseMode": "clang-x64",
"browse": {
"path": [
"/usr/include",
"/usr/local/include",
"${workspaceRoot}"
],
"limitSymbolsToIncludedHeaders": true,
"databaseFilename": ""
}
},
{
"name": "Win32",
"includePath": [
"C:/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio/2017/Community/VC/Tools/MSVC/14.11.25503/include/*",
"C:/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio/2017/Community/VC/Tools/MSVC/14.11.25503/atlmfc/include/*",
"C:/Program Files (x86)/Windows Kits/10/Include/10.0.16299.0/um",
"C:/Program Files (x86)/Windows Kits/10/Include/10.0.16299.0/ucrt",
"C:/Program Files (x86)/Windows Kits/10/Include/10.0.16299.0/shared",
"C:/Program Files (x86)/Windows Kits/10/Include/10.0.16299.0/winrt",
"${workspaceRoot}"
],
"defines": [

"UNICODE"
],
"intelliSenseMode": "msvc-x64",
"browse": {
"path": [
"${workspaceRoot}",
"C:\\MinGW\\lib\\gcc\\mingw32\\6.3.0\\include\\c++",
"C:\\MinGW\\bin"
],
"limitSymbolsToIncludedHeaders": true,
"databaseFilename": ""
}
}
],
"version": 3
}
And the "tasks.json" file has the following:
{
// See https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=733558
// for the documentation about the tasks.json format
"version": "2.0.0",
"tasks": [
{
"label": "build",
"type": "shell",
"command": "g++",
"args": [
"-g", "Calculator.cpp", "-o","Calculator"
],
"group": {
"kind": "build",
"isDefault": true
},
"problemMatcher":"$gcc"
}
]
}
But when I hit "run main task" it prompts:
"> Executing task: g++ -g Calculator.cpp -o Calculator <
'g++' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
The terminal process terminated with exit code: 1"
How can I get gcc detected?
I'm using VS Code with Windows 10 machine BTW.
If you have not added the folder path to windows, try that first.
If that still does not work try adding the full path in "task.json" instead of just g++.
Something like this:
C:/MinGW/bin/g++
I've been trying to set up VS command line compiler to use in VS code IDE. I have read the examples and can use GCC with no problem but need to use VS compiler now too.
I have tried a single line problem matcher and I multiple one. Yet VC code seems to capture nothing.
Here is an example of output with error from the compiler:
Microsoft (R) C/C++ Optimizing Compiler Version 18.00.40629 for x86
Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
helloWorld.c
..\Code\helloWorld.c(7) : error C2143: syntax error : missing ';' before '}'
Using the regExpr Expression:
(.*\n){2,3}\S+(\d+)\W+:\s(\bwarning|error\b\s\w+):\s(\w+\s\w+)\s+:\s(.*)$
It captures all the info I need (checked my work here: https://regex101.com/)
but when I put it in a Tasks.json file for VS code it doesn't work.
{
"version": "0.1.0",
"command": "Build",
"args": [
"${fileBasename}"
],
"isShellCommand": true,
"tasks": [
{
"taskName": "Build",
// Make this the default build command.
"isBuildCommand": true,
// Show the output window only if unrecognized errors occur.
"showOutput": "always",
// No args
"args": [
"all"
],
// Use the standard less compilation problem matcher.
"problemMatcher": {
"owner": "cpp",
"fileLocation": [
"relative",
"${workspaceRoot}"
],
"pattern": {
"regexp": "(.*\n){2,3}\\S+(\\d+)\\W+:\\s(\bwarning|error\b\\s\\w+):\\s(\\w+\\s\\w+)\\s+:\\s(.*)$",
"file": 1,
"line": 2,
"severity": 3,
"code": 4,
"message": 5
}
}
}
]
}
Anyone know how to setup VS Code IDE to use VS command line compiler? Any help would be greatly appreciated
The first two lines in your output can be avoided by adding /nologo flag to the compiler. So your tasks.json should be:
"tasks": [
{
"taskName": "Build",
"isBuildCommand": true,
"showOutput": "always",
"args": [
"all"
],
"problemMatcher": {
"owner": "cpp",
"severity": "info", // treat note as info
"fileLocation": "absolute",
"pattern": {
"regexp": "^(.*)\\((\\d+)\\):\\s+(warning|error|note)\\s*(\\w+)?:\\s+(.*)$",
"file": 1,
"location": 2,
"severity": 3,
"code": 4,
"message": 5
}
}
}
]
