Hi,
I have recently updated my nrf connect extension in vscode from 2023.2.56 to v2023.11.301.
The debug option in the latest nRF connect extension is not able to start a new debug session.
A typlical debug action involves flashing the selected build and start the threads i understand. But right after flashing, vscode throws an error as below:
Im assuming my launch.json has something to do with it, below is how it looks like:
// Use IntelliSense to learn about possible attributes.
// Hover to view descriptions of existing attributes.

"version": "0.2.0",
"configurations": [
{
"cwd": "${workspaceFolder}",
"executable": "./bin/executable.elf",
"name": "Debug with JLink",
"request": "launch",
"type": "cortex-debug",
"device": "",
"runToEntryPoint": "main",
"showDevDebugOutput": "none",
"servertype": "jlink"
},
{
"type": "nrf-connect",
"request": "launch",
"name": "Launch nRF Connect application",
"config": ""
},
{
"cwd": "${workspaceRoot}",
"executable": "./bin/executable.elf",
"name": "Debug with OpenOCD",
"request": "launch",
"type": "cortex-debug",
"servertype": "openocd",
"configFiles": [],
"searchDir": [],
"runToEntryPoint": "main",
"showDevDebugOutput": "none"
},
{
"cwd": "${workspaceFolder}",
"executable": "./bin/executable.elf",
"name": "Debug with JLink",
"request": "launch",
"type": "cortex-debug",
"device": "",
"runToEntryPoint": "main",
"showDevDebugOutput": "none",
"servertype": "jlink"
},
{
"type": "nrf-connect",
"request": "launch",
"name": "Launch active build configuration",
"config": "${activeConfig}",
"runToEntryPoint": "main"
}
]
}
When i was running the older version 2023.2.56, it would never create a problem with the same launch.json. The debug console would look like:
