Hi Antonio,

Now, under Linux, messages are displayed in the browser, but no console
is open ...

Alain,

You have to install vscode and the latest beta from Antonino Perricone, but we have a problem with the "handshake"

The debugger PRG code and vscode they need to perform a "handshake" where the name of the app and the process id are used.

In Windows the debugger PRG uses hb_ArgV( 0 ) and __PIDNum() and this is correct.

On Linux hb_ArgV( 0 ) from inside the mod_harbour is returning an empty string (surely because a daemon is used and
not a standard app). We have tried to use any name there that matches with the one checked from vscode, but vscode
uses __PIDNum() also to verify the app is the right one, and here we need to find a solution.

best regards

Alain,

I think that the solution is to use a name and PID for the "handshake" that are fine even if they are not the real ones.

For example, we could use the "calculator" and its PID. That would be enough to bypass the handshake

We are doing tests

In Windows we are able to bypass the "handshake" using the "Calculator.exe" and its PID and it works

So the same solution should apply to Linux and OSX ;-)

Wonderful job Antonio!

But the version you are using from Antonino is not officially released yet. It is going to be version 9.3. He already placed his changes on his github repo, but the .vsix I forward you from him, that he built from that github repo, was a prerelease he custom made for me. 
This is part of his new support to the "attach" method of VSCODE debug engine.
I will be updating the harbour.wiki article (https://harbour.wiki/index.asp?page=PublicArticles&mode=show&id=190401174818&sig=6893630672) about how to use this new debug method next week or after he releases 9.3. It is a holiday in the US and than a mini vacation for me.

Eric

The pid is used from the debugger as input, it is necessary to check if the program is closed during the debugger, and to kill it if it is lunched by debugger. 

in this way the debugger check il nautilus-desktop is running! and check it for killing, so in windows if you close calculator during debugger the debugger exits !!!!
It does not works with empty program name? I will check it...

The attach is not released yet, I will release it next week probably.

Hi, I have installed vscode 1.36.0, and the plugin Harbour/xHarbour
0.9.2 of Antonino Perricone.

But I have no toolbar for the debugger(at the right of your hardcopy), I
suppose that a new plugin version is needed ...

Hi, with the help of a part of Eric doc, and yours, I have been able to
save debugger.prg (in samples, for exemple)

When I try to run debugon.prg, I have an errors, and in Problem box, I
have the message that it don't find hbdebug.ch

alain@aupeix-GX723:~/Bureau/ged2dbf$ locate -b hbdebug.ch
/home/alain/harbour_for_modharbour/include/hbdebug.ch
/opt/TuxPrograms/trunks/harbour/include/hbdebug.ch
/usr/include/harbour/hbdebug.ch

Which on I must use, and how to enter the folder for the parameter -I ?

Thanks
+A

Done

// {% hb_SetEnv( "HB_USER_PRGFLAGS", "-B" ) %}
// {% hb_SetEnv( "HB_INCLUDE", "/usr/include/harbour/" ) %}

function Main()
...

and launch.json is :

Problems (seems ok)
No problems have been detected in the workspace so far

Output : empty

No debug toolbar ...

Where do I fail ?

Probably not the latest version of harbour vscode ?

Thanks

Alain,

You have to use the "attach" mode instead of the "launch" mode, but this is available in the latest beta from Antonino only!

             "type": "harbour-dbg",
             "request": "attach"  

best regards
