Notification that Configure Failed, Debug with CMake Debugger shows up when you override a Configure with a Build

[sinemakinci1]

Brief Issue Summary

When a CMake Configure action is running, and you override with a Build action, I get an error that Configure Failed, Debug with CMake Debugger. Ideally, this would not surface to the user, since nothing "failed".

There should also be a way to disable the pop-up for legitimate cases.

@cjdb Thanks for the suggestion. Could you elaborate some on what you mean by "legitimate cases"? It'd be great to understand any and all cases where we should allow this.

[cjdb]

That would be whatever the reason the popup was designed for.

Agreed 💯, that pop-up is extremely annoying. There should be an option to disable it.

The same error pops when I cancel configuring (#3472).

[cjdb]

The "Do not show again" button doesn't appear to have any effect. I still get the pop-up even after pressing that button (I've run CMake twice in a row after pressing the button to see if a change in my environment is the culprit, and it is not).

If you search for cmake.showConfigureWithDebuggerNotification in your settings, could you tell me what you see? I've just tested on the most recent pre-release whether this takes affect, and I've confirmed (for my repro) that it does take affect. I'm wondering if there is some settings issue that is happening?

Thanks.

@cjdb Also, what operating system are you on?

That setting isn't present in my settings.json.

@cjdb Also, what operating system are you on?

Arch Linux. I've also run the following, which may be relevant too?

$ code --version
1.86.1

x64

Update: I see "cmake.showConfigureWithDebuggerNotification": false on my work machine, which runs macOS. Perhaps my Arch VS Code build is out-of-date.

[gcampbell-msft]

@cjdb It might not be in your settings.json yet, but if you search for it in the global settings UI, you should be able to find it.

Could you check there?

[cjdb]

Yep, it's there. Looks like the global settings UI is having difficulty writing to my settings.json, but I've been able to write to that manually, which seems to have solved my problem :)

My guess is that I've got a permissions issue or something, but that's out of scope for the bug.

Thank you for your assistance!
