Debug adapter definition and debug configuration

local dap = require('dap') dap.adapters.cppdbg = { id = 'cppdbg', type = 'executable', command = '~/.local/share/nvim/mason/extension/debugAdapters/bin/OpenDebugAD7', }

dap.configurations.cpp = { { name = "Launch file", type = "cppdbg", request = "launch", program = function() return vim.fn.input('Path to executable: ', vim.fn.getcwd() .. '/', 'file') end, cwd = '${workspaceFolder}', stopAtEntry = true, }, }

dap.configuration.c = dap.configurations.cpp

Debug adapter version

I'm sorry but the issue tracker here is for feature requests and bug reports and not for general debug adapter support.

There is probably an issue with your gdb or adapter installation

I think following link can help you :

The root cause of this issue is the Darwin kernel does not allow gdb to control another process without having special rights
