Glad to hear, Mike! Always happy to help out.

I'll bring this up with the vscode team internally to see if we can do something about this in the future.

Cheers,

Håkon

Hi Mike,

My setup is quite simplistic to test this.

I took zephyr/samples/application_development/external_lib and compiled/renamed the directory to "zephyr/samples/application_development/external_lib2".

Default debug view showed that I could not open the src file:

I tried to add every config I could find to my launch.json:

{
	"version": "0.2.0",
	"configurations": [
		{
			"type": "nrf-connect",
			"request": "launch",
			"name": "Launch build",
			"config": "${workspaceFolder}/external_lib/build",
			"runToEntryPoint": "main",
			"sourceFileMap": { "/opt/ncs/zephyr/samples/application_development/external_lib": "/opt/ncs/zephyr/samples/application_development/external_lib2" },
            "preAttachCommands": [
                "set substitute-path /opt/ncs/zephyr/samples/application_development/external_lib /opt/ncs/zephyr/samples/application_development/external_lib2",
            ],
            "overrideLaunchCommands": [
                "set substitute-path /opt/ncs/zephyr/samples/application_development/external_lib /opt/ncs/zephyr/samples/application_development/external_lib2",
            ],
            "overrideResetCommands": [
                "set substitute-path /opt/ncs/zephyr/samples/application_development/external_lib /opt/ncs/zephyr/samples/application_development/external_lib2",
            ],
            "overrideRestartCommands": [
                "set substitute-path /opt/ncs/zephyr/samples/application_development/external_lib /opt/ncs/zephyr/samples/application_development/external_lib2",
            ],									
		}
	]
}

Still, none of the above was able to resolve to the moved directory. I am not excluding operator error from my side here, I might have fudged the syntax or something in the above.

But, I found this specific blog post (via https://github.com/Marus/cortex-debug/issues/611):

https://alex.dzyoba.com/blog/gdb-source-path/

I played around with this function, and found that using the gdb-command was working:

set substitute-path ../zephyr/samples/application_development/external_lib ../zephyr/samples/application_development/external_lib2

Please note that you need to start with -exec in the inbuild debug console in vscode:

-exec set substitute-path /opt/ncs/zephyr/samples/application_development/external_lib /opt/ncs/zephyr/samples/application_development/external_lib2

Could you try this and see if this helps to resolve the static .a functions at your end as well?

Kind regards,

Håkon
