Debug error in VS Code

Question

I tried to debug C++ file with gdb, but following error message is appeared.

Unable to 'main.cpp': File not found (file:///c/Users/.../main.cpp)

But I set the program path in launch.json file like this:

"program": "C:/Users/.../main.exe"

I think it's because VS Code recognizes C: to c, but I couldn't find any solutions to fix this issue.

How can I set target program's path correctly?

Answer 1

I found solution through asking VS Code GitHub. If above error message is appeared, add sourceFileMap to launch.json file.

"sourceFileMap": {
    "/c": "C:/"
}

Answer 2

Try to write the path in the launch file as:

"program": "C:\\Users\\..\\main.exe"
