Pressing F5 will not start the debugger if "program" in launch.json is already set to "readme.md"

@z00420691 sorry, I don't remember whether I fixed it or not. It's been a while since I worked on my vscode debugger project

Same here, nothing happened when I click the start button. System information:

Ok, I found out what's wrong. The auto-generated launch.json is like this:

{
    "version": "0.2.0",
    "configurations": [
        {
            "type": "mock",
            "request": "launch",
            "name": "Ask for file name",
            "program": "${workspaceFolder}/${command:AskForProgramName}",
            "stopOnEntry": true
        }
    ]
}

However, if your file is in a subdirectory, like

root/
  mock test/
    readme.md

Then selecting readme.md when launching the debugger won't work. Clearly it's because the subdirectory mock test is not taken into consideration.

A solution is to change the value of "program" to include the subdirectory:

"program": "${workspaceFolder}/mock test/readme.md"

This will work.

Hi laike9m ,
I try as your suggestions, it can't work. :-(

@enochcytian please note that "Mock Debug" is a sample that shows the basic structure of a debug extension. It doesn't cover all corner cases.
The purpose of the auto generated launch config is to show how "asking the user for input" can be done. It is not something to use in production.
