From the photo I can see you enabled LLDBDAP_LOG could you attach the log file to this issue. should be in the ${workspaceFolder}/log

Thanks! Sorry for the late reply, I think I have found the problem.

In settings.json it should be
"lldb-dap.logFolder": "${workspaceFolder}/log",

But not

"lldb-dap.log-path". That will make the server failed to found the log folder.

It is now working! Thanks for @da-viper

But it seems the log cannot properly shows the Directory not found or Old settings deprecated/discarded problems When using lldb-dap.log-path. Should this problem be provided by the log?
