Cannot debug C++ multiple times in a row

[alexclifton4]

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes/No

• VS Code Version: 1.89
• OS Version: Windows 11

I am able to debug my code successfully by pressing F5, but if I attempt to run it a second time, it will fail with No such file or directory in the terminal output.

This used to work as expected, but I've started experiencing this recently, so I'm wondering if it's related to this?

My launch.json is based on the sample provided, but for reference it is this:

{
    "version": "0.2.0",
    "configurations": [
        {
            "name": "(gdb) Launch",
            "type": "cppdbg",
            "request": "launch",
            "program": "${workspaceFolder}/build/test.exe",
            "args": [],
            "stopAtEntry": false,
            "cwd": "${fileDirname}",
            "environment": [],
            "externalConsole": false,
            "MIMode": "gdb",
            "miDebuggerPath": "gdb",
            "setupCommands": [
                {
                    "description": "Enable pretty-printing for gdb",
                    "text": "-enable-pretty-printing",
                    "ignoreFailures": true
                },
                {
                    "description": "Set Disassembly Flavor to Intel",
                    "text": "-gdb-set disassembly-flavor intel",
                    "ignoreFailures": true
                }
            ]
        }

    ]
}

After attempting to run a second time, the terminal looks like this: Note how the second time, the start of the command seems to have been truncated

Closing the integrated terminal and trying again works fine, but this is annoying.

Thanks for creating this issue! It looks like you may be using an old version of VS Code, the latest stable release is 1.89.0. Please try upgrading to the latest version and checking whether this issue remains.

Happy Coding!

I've realised this is likely an issue with an extension, so I've also opened an issue here

Closing as the issue on cpptools has also been closed
