Issue description

I was able to attach the language server and also start the debugger. However none of the breakpoints is hit. The project runs in Godot debugger without stopping. Here is the launch.json:

{
    "version": "0.2.0",
    "configurations": [
        {
            "name": "GDScript Godot",
            "type": "godot",
            "request": "launch",
            "project": "${workspaceFolder}",
            "port": 6007,
            "address": "http://127.0.0.1",
            "launch_game_instance": true,
            "launch_scene": false
        }
    ]
}

One note: I had to add "http://" or at least "://" to the "address", otherwise it starts with an error:

If run directly from command line there is more error output:

% "/Volumes/SDDPCIE2TB/Applications/Godot.app/Contents/MacOS/Godot" --path "/Volumes/SDDPCIE2TB/Projects/Godot/golf" --remote-debug 127.0.0.1:6007 --breakpoints res://arrow.gd:30,res://camera.gd:30,res://camera.gd:36 
Invalid debug host address, it should be of the form <protocol>://<host/IP>:<port>.

What would be the correct form and how to enter it in launch.json?

Steps to reproduce

Launching the debugger from vscode.

In address you should be using tcp:// and not http:// I think.

Ok, I used "tcp://" now. But still it does not stop at breakpoints. When I used the command from the command line I found that probably the port is wrong:

% "/Volumes/SDDPCIE2TB/Applications/Godot.app/Contents/MacOS/Godot" --path "/Volumes/SDDPCIE2TB/Projects/Godot/golf" --remote-debug tcp://127.0.0.1:6007 --breakpoints res://arrow.gd:30,res://camera.gd:30,res://camera.gd:36
ERROR: Remote Debugger: Unable to connect. Status: 3.
   at: connect_to_host (core/debugger/remote_debugger_peer.cpp:180)
Godot Engine v4.0.2.stable.official.7a0977ce2 - https://godotengine.org

6008 seems to work better:

% "/Volumes/SDDPCIE2TB/Applications/Godot.app/Contents/MacOS/Godot" --path "/Volumes/SDDPCIE2TB/Projects/Godot/golf" --remote-debug tcp://127.0.0.1:6008 --breakpoints res://arrow.gd:30,res://camera.gd:30,res://camera.gd:36 
Godot Engine v4.0.2.stable.official.7a0977ce2 - https://godotengine.org

(BTW where can I get the information which port to use?)

But even with that port, no stop at breakpoints.

Anything else I could try?

Godot 4 debugger support isn't finished yet, and I wouldn't expect this to work properly today.

[maziac]

OK. Is there a timeline, e.g. is it about days or months? I'm thinking if it makes sense to downgrade to Godot 3.

[thoraxe]

https://github.com/godotengine/godot-vscode-plugin/issues/389 describes workarounds, but they're sloppy right now. There is a reference to a WIP PR. I would say it's probably weeks and not months, but this is open source and we're at the mercy of (often) people's free time.

If flawless non-hacky debugger support is critical for you right now, then yes, you should downgrade to Godot 3.x

Thanks for info.
