I think the CPP debugger is in the MSFT extension which we can't use in code-server (based off this) so I don't think there's anything we can do here sadly.
cc @code-asher are there any workarounds that you know of?

Thanks, @jsjoeio. Understand that cannot use
cppdbg. Please let me know the possibilities to usegdbfor debugging in Debian environment.jsjoeio commentedon Nov 10, 2022
None that I know of but maybe @code-asher knows

The only open-source version of the Microsoft C++ extension I know of is https://open-vsx.org/extension/llvm-vs-code-extensions/vscode-clangd but I have never used it so I am not sure how/if debugging works.

I can have cpp debugging working on code-server running on my Raspberry pi (Ubuntu 22.04 , arm64) , I installed https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode-cpptools (there are
armhfbuilds), you may try it . (It can work even without https)sakthivel-axim commentedon Nov 23, 2022
Thanks you @a279437145 .
I have tried to install but it doesn't show in extension. Could you please share config/steps to bring up? It will be helpful.
a279437145 commentedon Nov 23, 2022
yep , it's not in the openVSX extension gallery , so you cant install it directly.
I downloaded the vsix from https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-vscode.cpptools
and chose the
Download extensionoption in the right , then choose the right one for youyou are on armhf ubuntu , so you should choose
Linux arm32, like this:then put it on your code-server and install, the way to install exis extensions are described in the code-server docs
Also if you want i can provide my
tasks.jsonandlaunch.jsonsakthivel-axim commentedon Nov 23, 2022
Thanks @a279437145 . I will try to setup. Please share your
tasks.jsonandlaunch.json, it helps a lot. Thanks once again.a279437145 commentedon Nov 23, 2022
the files are here
launch.txt
tasks.txt
change the attribute to .json(I can't upload json files to github directly),and please ignore the python configuration in
launch.jsonit should work like this
I cant use computer now so I did that on phone , the screenshot may somehow look a bit strange,regret~
