Error starting :Termdebug

[Uri Moszkowicz]

Hi,

I get this error running vim 8.2 when starting :Termdebug:

Error detected while processing function <SNR>2_StartDebug[2]..<SNR>2_StartDebug_internal[50]..<SNR>2_StartDebug_term:
line   97:
Cannot check if your gdb works, continuing anyway
Press ENTER or type command to continue

After a few seconds GDB starts anyway. Is there a way I can disable this error message?

Thanks,

Uri

The plugin wants to check what features your gdb has. I wonder why this
takes so long. Perhaps there is another gdb argument to do this
quickly?

Do you see the "Reading symbols from" message? You could change the
plugin runtime/pack/dist/opt/termdebug/plugin/termdebug.vim

" Reading symbols might take a while, try more times
let try_count -= 1

Change "1" to a large number, e.g. "100" or "1000".
Let us know if that helps.

Haven't you just created an issue for this behaviour?

Did you try changing the mentioned limit? Please test out what limit
works for you.


Best,
