'MinGW Debugger in VS Code is Stuck at Building tasks. What can I do to get it back to normal? I
Earlier it used to create the .exe files whenever I hit the F5 button to debug the code. But now for some reason I am unable to get it right and I messed up with the .json files, and it keeps throwing errors.
{
"version": "2.0.0",
"tasks": [
{
"type": "cppbuild",
"label": "C/C++: gcc.exe build active file",
"command": "C:\\MinGW\\bin\\gcc.exe",
"args": [
"-fdiagnostics-color=always",
"-g",
"${file}",
"-o",
"${fileDirname}\\${fileBasenameNoExtension}.exe",
"-Wall",
"-Wextra",
"-Wpedantic"
],
"options": {
"cwd": "${fileDirname}"
},
"problemMatcher": [
"$gcc"
],
"group": "build",
"detail": "compiler: C:\\MinGW\\bin\\gcc.exe"
}
]
}
This is the tasks.json file.
{
"version": "0.2.0",
"configurations": [
{
"name": "g++.exe - Build and debug active file",
"type": "cppdbg",
"request": "launch",
"program": "${fileDirname}\\${fileBasenameNoExtension}.exe",
"args": [],
"stopAtEntry": true,
"cwd": "${fileDirname}",
"environment": [],
"externalConsole": true,
"internalConsoleOptions": "openOnSessionStart",
"MIMode": "gdb",
"miDebuggerPath": "C:\\MinGW\\bin\\gdb.exe",
"setupCommands": [
{
"description": "Enable pretty-printing for gdb",
"text": "-enable-pretty-printing",
"ignoreFailures": false
}
],
"preLaunchTask": "C/C++: g++.exe build active file"
}
]
}
This is the launch .json file.
