[Debugging With the Visual Studio IDE] Unable to start program "allocator_irt_x64". The system cannot find the file specified.

[Jack Winter]

I followed the steps in the link below and I want to test and test Breakpoints in Chromium with VS2019, but I am encountering an error.

https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/HEAD/docs/windows_build_instructions.md

ERROR:

Unable to start program "D:\chromium\src\out\Default\allocator_irt_x64".

The system cannot find the file specified.

I've been dealing with this error for about 1 week and it didn't get fixed even though I completely reset my computer 4 times. When I did these operations for the first time, it worked albeit slowly, but I can't run it anymore.

When I checked the path in the Error, I realized that it was not. But I don't know how to fix this.

When I checked the path in the Error, I noticed that the path specified does not exist. But I don't know how to fix this. Also, sometimes when I delete everything and reinstall, I get the error that "allocator_clang_newlib_x64" is not found and it still doesn't work.

Note:

There are issues that I checked for similar issues and it seems there are similar but different files not being loaded, but I couldn't find a valid solution.

"gclient sync" didn't work.

You need to set Chrome as the startup project in VS.

How can I do that? When you say Chrome, are you talking about Chrome.exe? So before I do this I need to call the below command?

autoninja -C out\Default chrome

Look for it in the solution explorer in Visual Studio (you can search for it), right click the Chrome project and set it as startup project.

Visual Studio Installer:

My command steps:

1. mkdir chromium && cd chromium
2. fetch --no-history chromium
3. cd src
4. gn gen --ide=vs --filters=//chrome out\Default
5. call "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Community\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe" out\Default\all.sln
