VS_DEBUGGER_WORKING_DIRECTORY is not honoured by the generator #771

Open devshgraphicsprogramming opened 5 years ago

devshgraphicsprogramming commented 5 years ago

Brief Issue Summary

The debugger and run-without-debugger (run in terminal) do not honour the working directory set for individual targets.

Expected:

Both debugger and run-without-debugger run my target from the specified (by VS_DEBUGGER_WORKING_DIRECTORY) working directory.

Apparent Behavior:

Debugger and Run-In-Terminal both attempt to run my target binaries from the root directory of the project as the working directory.

I'm having the same issue.

Set "cwd": "${workspaceFolder}/build/", in my launch.json but when I press CTRL + F5 the project is started from the root of the workspace

@billgan1024 @devshgraphicsprogramming What generator are you using for this project?

The design of the VS_DEBUGGER_WORKING_DIRECTORY was initially designed only for the VS generators, it's also tracked here for VS: https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/t/CMake-integration-does-not-use-VS_DEBUGG/10661022, and Kitware themselves here: https://gitlab.kitware.com/cmake/cmake/-/issues/16478.

If it's not working for even the VS generators, we should likely look into this. More generically, there will be enhancements made in Kitware CMake.

Its a 5 year old issue, but @AnastaZIuk probably knows if it still affects us
