Throws the following error:

From the vscode Developer Console, I can see:

[Extension Host] rejected promise not handled within 1 second: Error: spawn ENOTDIR

The solution was to remove the following:

        {
            // Debug file.
            "name": "debug.log (double click)",
            "path": "./wp-content/debug.log"
        },

Then it all worked! I would like to emphasize that vscode may not support the mapping of single files like the above. However, that does work for me. But it brakes vscode-phpcs though.
