C++: Tasks not detected by debugger #1616
Description
When running the debugger for an active C++ file, the debugger throws an error saying that it cannot find the build task associated with the debug configuration. This is strange because the same launch.json and tasks.json work properly in a native copy of vscode, although the native copy is at a slightly higher commit (ff... vs fd...). I searched through the vscode issues directory and I couldn't find anything pertaining to 'c++ debug', so I figured the issue was in code server. Below are the links to the pastebins of the tasks/launch.json, exthost log, and stdout. Please let me know if you need anything else.

I am experiencing the same issue, though it sometimes work fine, but on another try it fails, so it is unstable.
UPD: If I give the browser tab a minute to settle down, it seems to manage to find tasks fine 🤔

@ahshabbir Can you try the latest release?
ahshabbir commentedon May 18, 2020
I've tried the latest release, the editor seems to hand after you press the play button. Looking at my task manager I noticed that 'cpptools', an executable that is apart of the C++ extension for vs code, was the hanging process. Because this executable is in the extensions folder, I'm starting to think that this is now an issue with the C++ plugin. I'll look through the logs later and see if I find anything new.

@ahshabbir Try local VS Code to see if it works.
ahshabbir commentedon May 20, 2020
Local VS Code still works, although I'm on a lower version (1.45 vs 1.46 on code-server). The problem now is that the editor hangs when you initiate the debug session.

@ahshabbir Try upgrading to the latest release, it downgrades to 1.45.1.

The issue persists with 3.3.1

Will this problem be solved in the next version?
jsjoeio commentedon Jun 23, 2021
No, this is in the Backlog. All things in the 3.11 milestone will be in the next version. You can read about our workflow here.
If this is priority for you, I can move it to On Deck and we can take a look in the next version cycle?
