Very helpful indeed but i kept getting some launch .jason files and i know its from my end but i cant figure it out

[@codingwithmat]

Do you mean you have multiple launch.json files in your solution? If you have a shared project (perhaps through git), could the repository already have a "launch.json" file? AFAIK, you should only have one file in the workspace, unless VScode has support for multiple ones. For example, settings.yml is supported at a project level, user level and global level so you can have multiple of those, I'm not sure if it's the same for "launch.json". I recommend reading the documentation on it to find out: code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/debugging

@@codingwithmat I'm willing to pay you something for your trouble if u can help me set it up on my pc, we can talk the details on discord if you like, what do you say ??

[@codingwithmat]

@@abdosaleh6058 Hey, I don't want to charge you at all, but I can help on my discord discord.gg/jBd7wEmA .

[@srenkrusepedersen3235]

Seems like the configuration in launch.json is obsolete. @codingwithmat can you confirm and provide an updated version ?

[@codingwithmat]

Thank you! Yeah it's probably an old config. I'll redo an updated video !

[@AbdelsatarElmezayen]

I did the same on linux, but to create a jason file, the C++ debugger doesn't exist

thank you very helpful .

[@ahmednader381]

@@codingwithmat Any idea how I could configure this json automatically with each project in cmakelists?

[@codingwithmat]

​@@ahmednader381 If I understand right, you want to tell your CmakeLists.txt to configure a launch.json for you? I don't think this is possible with the current CMake version. Unfortunately, you're going to have to write a debug configuration for every test case you want to debug.
