Getting a default launch configuration

[ashish-gawali-adi]

The extension uses initialConfigurations to define a default configuration, this option has been deprecated as seen in this issue. It adds default configuration:

{
    "name": "Cortex Debug",
    "cwd": "${workspaceFolder}",
    "executable": "./bin/executable.elf",
    "request": "launch",
    "type": "cortex-debug",
    "runToEntryPoint": "main",
    "servertype": "jlink"
}

If you have an extension defining a new configuration of type: cortex-debug on creation launch.json, you have the default configuration defined in cortex-debug as well as the one defined in the extension sitting on top of cortex-debug, so you will have configurations in launch.json somewhat similar to the one below:

[
        {
            "name": "Cortex Debug",
            "cwd": "${workspaceFolder}",
            "executable": "./bin/executable.elf",
            "request": "launch",
            "type": "cortex-debug",
            "runToEntryPoint": "main",
            "servertype": "jlink"
        },
        {
            "name": "Debug configuration From new extension",
            "cwd": "${workspaceFolder}",
            "executable": "executable.elf",
            "request": "launch",
            "type": "cortex-debug",
            "runToEntryPoint": "main",
            "servertype": "openocd",
            "showDevDebugOutput": "both",
            "preLaunchCommands": [
                "set logging overwrite on",
                "set logging file debug-arm.log",
                "set logging on",
                "set remotetimeout 60",
                "tbreak abort",
                "tbreak _fatal_error",
                "tbreak _exit"
            ]
        },
]

The expected behavior would be to have just one configuration like below:

 [
       {
            "name": "Debug configuration From new extension",
            "cwd": "${workspaceFolder}",
            "executable": "executable.elf",
            "request": "launch",
            "type": "cortex-debug",
            "runToEntryPoint": "main",
            "servertype": "openocd",
            "showDevDebugOutput": "both",
            "preLaunchCommands": [
                "set logging overwrite on",
                "set logging file debug-arm.log",
                "set logging on",
                "set remotetimeout 60",
                "tbreak abort",
                "tbreak _fatal_error",
                "tbreak _exit"
            ]
        }
]

One possible to solution of this problem to remove initialConfigurations from package.json and implement function provideDebugConfigurations in file src\frontend\configprovider.ts.
