Hi everyone,
it looks like in example of launch.json in the path to godot_gdb_pretty_print instead of scripts should be utility, like this:

source ${workspaceRoot}/misc/utility/godot_gdb_pretty_print.py

I've opened a PR to fix this: godotengine/godot-docs#9774

Thanks for reporting it 🙂

Those steps didn't work for me Godot 4.4-beta.1 C#.
This article helped, however.

Leaving this here in case someone else is struggling to debug their project with VS code.

tasks.json

  "tasks": [
    {
      "type": "dotnet",
      "task": "build",
      "problemMatcher": ["$msCompile"],
      "group": {
        "kind": "build",
        "isDefault": true
      },
      "label": "build"
    }
  ]

launch.json

  "configurations": [
    {
      "name": "Run Godot Run",
      "type": "coreclr",
      "request": "launch",
      "program": "C:/Program Files/Godot/Godot_v4.4-beta1_mono_win64/Godot_v4.4-beta1_mono_win64.exe",
      "args": ["--path", "${workspaceRoot}"],
      "stopAtEntry": false,
      "cwd": "${workspaceFolder}",
      "environment": [],
      "console": "internalConsole",

    }
  ]

This page is about setting up Visual Studio Code for C++ development, not C# development. It's expected that the steps described here will not be optimal for working on a Godot C# project.

C# configuration steps are described here instead: https://docs.godotengine.org/en/latest/tutorials/scripting/c_sharp/c_sharp_basics.html#configuring-an-external-editor

I've opened a pull request for this:

I use c# and VS code. Can I upload my Godot project to GitHub using VSCode? And if not how to upload my Godot project?

[Prospy006]

Yeah just push the git, and make sure to create a git before you push it.

When using vscode on macos with M chip, the launch.json should be like this:

{
    "version": "0.2.0",
    "configurations": [
        {
            "name": "Launch Project",
            "type": "lldb-dap",
            "request": "launch",
            "program": "${workspaceFolder}/bin/godot.macos.editor.dev.arm64",
            "args": [
                "--editor",
                "--path",
                "/path/to/godot/game"
            ],
            "cwd": "${workspaceFolder}",
            "preLaunchTask": "build"
        }
    ]
}
