Adding more source for debug

[yedane]

Environment

• Operating System: Win 10
• JDK version: 8
• Visual Studio Code version: 1.32.3
• Java extension version: 0.42.1
• Java Debugger extension version: 0.17.0

I'm trying to debug a local tomcat war with additional source code for dependencies.
I declared in launch.json theses extra source directories like below, but it seems not taking in consideration in the call stack, Unknown source label is displayed.

Launch.json

Need I more configuration ?

@yedane how did you launch a local tomcat war file? Do you use the launch.json config above to launch it?

[yedane]

I'm using "Tomcat for java" vscode extension to launch on debug my war file. I can debug the main source folder with it but not the dependencies.

The extension "Tomcat for java" doesn't pass your launch configuration to java debugger, so sourcePaths config doesn't take affect. Suggest opening an issue there to support extra source directories. https://github.com/adashen/vscode-tomcat/issues

I solved my problem for the moment by running my local tomcat in remote. In that way I can in debugger attach external source, and it works !

@yedane can you be specific how you fixed the issue, I am also using the extension and when I hit a breakpoint it says Unknown Source. I've set tomcat to run with debug and can attach using the launch.json configuration but still can't find source. Any help would be appreciated.

I didn't solve definitively the problem, just bypassed it.
I launch my tomcat in remote with the "Tomcat for java" by specifying -Xdebug:

And in my launch.json, I attach my app by specifying the hostname : 127.0.0.1 and the port in the JVM options

I don't know for now with this method, hot replace would work or not ?
