Unable to find GDB in default search path and gdb.

[Mealoore]

Brief Issue Summary

When I use vscode to debug some simple CPP programs(don't ask me why I do not use JetBrains Clion) in windows, I get this error message: "Unable to find GDB in default search path and gdb." My environment list:

• gcc: JetBrains/CLion 2022.2/bin/mingw/bin/gcc.exe version:11.2
• gdb: JetBrains/CLion 2022.2/bin/gdb/win/bin/gdb.exe version:12.1
• cmake: JetBrains/CLion 2022.2/bin/cmake/win/bin/cmake.exe version:3.23.2
• CMake Tools ——ms-vscode.cmake-tools version:1.12.26
• Windows 11 version:22H2

And when I set the variale

"cmake.debugConfig": {
    "miDebuggerPath": "JetBrains/CLion 2022.2/bin/gdb/win/bin/gdb.exe",
    "MIMode":"gdb"
    }

the debugger's path is right, but it still doesn't solve my problem——Unable to find GDB in default search path and gdb., and the terminal always outputs

gdb --version exited with code: 1 and signal: null

until I add the path of debugger to my computer's envionment PATH，I can succeed in debugging my program, so I just want to know why I can't use the setting "cmake.debugConfig"

when I use mingw，this question still exsits, only I add their path to computer's envionment PATH, it can work.

This doesn't look like a valid path: JetBrains/CLion 2022.2/bin/gdb/win/bin/gdb.exe On Windows the path should start with a drive letter like C:/. My guess is that CLion was installed into your Program Files folder, so the full path would be something like: C:/Program Files/JetBrains/CLion 2022.2/bin/gdb/win/bin/gdb.exe. This might also work: ${env:ProgramFiles}/JetBrains/CLion 2022.2/bin/gdb/win/bin/gdb.exe
