Debug adapter process has terminated unexpectedly

[pschuegr]

I'm having the same issue as this one from last year: #564. Unable to launch the debugger from within vscode go or I get "Debug adapter process has terminated unexpectedly" (twice).

package main

import (
	"fmt"
)

func main() {
	fmt.Println("hello world")
}

{
    "version": "0.2.0",
    "configurations": [
        {
            "name": "Launch",
            "type": "go",
            "request": "launch",
            "mode": "debug",
            "remotePath": "",
            "port": 2345,
            "host": "127.0.0.1",
            "program": "${workspaceRoot}/main.go",
            "env": {},
            "args": [],
            "showLog": true
        }
    ]
}

• OSX 10.12.5
• vscode 1.13.1
• vscode-go 0.6.62
• dlv works fine from the command line
• same issue with remote debugging
• no output in debug console

Sorry, it took so long to respond.

Can you set "trace": "verbose" in the debug config and see if you get any logs in the debug console?

[pschuegr]

Sorry, nothing else in the debug console with trace: "verbose"

[ramya-rao-a]

Not even the initial lines about writing to a file?

Have you been able to debug successfully before? Or never got it to work in your current environment? What I am trying to get at is if this is a regression due to a recent update or an environment issue.

@ramya-rao-a Nothing, unfortunately. I tested this on another machine and it seems to work fine, so it's definitely an environment thing. I'll dig into it more - do you have any suggestions?

I've confirmed that both machines are running Code 1.13.1, vscode-go 0.6.62, golang 1.8.3 darwin/amd64, and dlv 1.0.0-rc.1.

Edit: Thought the mock-debug adapter had some useful information, but that turned out to be false.
Edit2: I think there's something borked with my install - the package.json for the go extension points to ./out/src/debugAdapter/goDebug.js, which afaict doesn't exist. I'll try re-installing.

[pschuegr]

Reinstalled and the debugAdapter directory showed up fine. Thanks for your help.

go extension points to ./out/src/debugAdapter/goDebug.js, which afaict doesn't exist

That's a new one :)
No wonder the debug adapter couldn't start coz it didn't exist 😆

Glad you are unblocked now. Happy Coding!
