Can't find codelldb.exe (but, it's right there)

[hhmmjjnn]

OS: Windows 11
VSCode version: VSCodium-1.88.0
CodeLLDB version: CodeLLDB-1.10.0
Compiler: zig-0.11.0
Debuggee: x86_64-windows-msvc

1. Run command workbench.action.debug.start
2. task build completes sucessfully
3. target executable is spawned
4. process paused on entry-point
5. CodeLLDB complains it can't find codelldb.exe
6. though codelldb.exe is right where you'd expect it to be
7. running the very same command manually, in a CMD box, resumes the execution of the target process until it exits

I am getting this same issue on Windows with Visual Code 1.88.0 and codelldb 1.10.0

it might run randomly one moment then when you try it again it does things like this

andrew.wheeler@KZO-20-0001 MINGW64 ~/render_demo (main)
$ ^C

andrew.wheeler@KZO-20-0001 MINGW64 ~/render_demo (main)
$ odelldb.exe terminal-agent --connect=64940
bash: odelldb.exe: command not found

andrew.wheeler@KZO-20-0001 MINGW64 ~/render_demo (main)

It happened to me again, today, but with a Rust project.

The weirdest thing is that it works on the first try, but not in the second.

Gotta run workbench.action.reloadWindow to have another shot.

        }
    ]
}

the issue is happening to me every-time but I found a work around for it at least for my issue. If i close the Debug terminal and Codelldb terminal before running any program it will correctly work. If i leave them open it will error with

andrew.wheeler@KZO-20-0001 MINGW64 ~/render_demo (main)
$ odelldb.exe terminal-agent --connect=64940
bash: odelldb.exe: command not found

@vadimcn any ideas on this? maybe its due to a new Visual code update?

[genusistimelord]

for a quick update I found that ensuring I am using the Default PowerShell instead of another bash that the issue goes away. So setting Visual codes Bash to be PowerShell will fix the issue. just you lose the nice coloring and such that other bashes give you.

I tried the workarounds that @genusistimelord suggested and both work.
