C++: Tasks not detected by debugger

[ahshabbir]

When running the debugger for an active C++ file, the debugger throws an error saying that it cannot find the build task associated with the debug configuration. This is strange because the same launch.json and tasks.json work properly in a native copy of vscode, although the native copy is at a slightly higher commit (ff... vs fd...). I searched through the vscode issues directory and I couldn't find anything pertaining to 'c++ debug', so I figured the issue was in code server. Below are the links to the pastebins of the tasks/launch.json, exthost log, and stdout. Please let me know if you need anything else.

I am experiencing the same issue, though it sometimes work fine, but on another try it fails, so it is unstable.

UPD: If I give the browser tab a minute to settle down, it seems to manage to find tasks fine 🤔

@ahshabbir Can you try the latest release?

[ahshabbir]

I've tried the latest release, the editor seems to hand after you press the play button. Looking at my task manager I noticed that 'cpptools', an executable that is apart of the C++ extension for vs code, was the hanging process. Because this executable is in the extensions folder, I'm starting to think that this is now an issue with the C++ plugin. I'll look through the logs later and see if I find anything new.

@ahshabbir Try local VS Code to see if it works.

Local VS Code still works, although I'm on a lower version (1.45 vs 1.46 on code-server). The problem now is that the editor hangs when you initiate the debug session.

@ahshabbir Try upgrading to the latest release, it downgrades to 1.45.1.

The issue persists with 3.3.1
