VSCode is no longer supporting specifiying a commandId in the "initialConfigurations" contribution

[isidorn]

Hi,

We noticed your extension in package.json is using a "initialConfigurations" contribution in a deprecated way by specifiying a command id.
We wanted to let you know that we plan to delete support for this specific use of "initialConfigurations" soon.
More about this deprecation can be found here and in our release notes.
A good example on how to use the DebugConfigurarationProvider which is the new way of doing this can be found here

Also note other deprecations which are specified in our release notes (which can be found on our site).

Kind regards,
Isidor from the VSCode team

I got hit by this issue today. The extension refused to provide configurations and I have to copy them manually from source to the launch.json file like below:

{
    // Use IntelliSense to learn about possible attributes.
    // Hover to view descriptions of existing attributes.
    // For more information, visit: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=830387
    "version": "0.2.0",
    "configurations": [
		{
			"name": "Bash-Debug (hardcoded script name)",
			"type": "bashdb",
			"request": "launch",
			"scriptPath": "${workspaceRoot}/agent_memo.sh",
			"commandLineArguments": "",
			"windows": {
				"bashPath": "C:\\Windows\\sysnative\\bash.exe"
			},
			"linux": {
				"bashPath": "bash"
			},
			"osx": {
				"bashPath": "bash"
			}
		},
		{
			"name": "Bash-Debug (select script from list of sh files)",
			"type": "bashdb",
			"request": "launch",
			"scriptPath": "${command:SelectScriptName}",
			"commandLineArguments": "",
			"windows": {
				"bashPath": "C:\\Windows\\sysnative\\bash.exe"
			},
			"linux": {

			},
			"osx": {
				"bashPath": "bash"
			}
        },
		{
			"name": "Bash-Debug (type in script name)",
			"type": "bashdb",
			"request": "launch",
			"scriptPath": "${workspaceRoot}/${command:AskForScriptName}",
			"commandLineArguments": "",
			"windows": {
				"bashPath": "C:\\Windows\\sysnative\\bash.exe"
			},
			"linux": {
				"bashPath": "bash"
			},
			"osx": {
				"bashPath": "bash"
			}
        }
	]
}

Same, I get only this when I use the command to generate configuration:

{
// Use IntelliSense to learn about possible attributes.
// Hover to view descriptions of existing attributes.
// For more information, visit: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=830387
"version": "0.2.0",
"configurations": "extension.bash-debug.provideInitialConfigurations"
}
