Getting error when running app in debug mode.

When hitting play on debugger, debugger options appear for split second and exception occurs.

error while processing request '{_request}' (exception: {_exception})

OS: Mac

Copied from original issue: Microsoft/vscode#306

[weinand]

The problem with the unreadable error message has been fixed through PR #4

[wtang3]

Thank you very much weinand!

@weinand, I'm also getting the same error. How we can solve this?

@mbcrump, I'm getting the same error. How we can solve this?

[weinand]

@amansingh36 I have created a new release of the mono-debug adapter that should fix the problem with the unreadable error message. Please give it a try and let me know what the real error is. A 'how-to install vsix extensions' can be found here.

[amansingh36]

@weinand, Thanks for the reply. I've installed your extension via below method still receiving error.

INSTALL METHOD: "You can also install a .vsix by opening the file from within VS Code. Run File | Open File... or unassigned and select the extension .vsix."

ERROR: error while processing request '{_request}' (exception: {_exception})

Please help. Thanks

[amansingh36]

@weinand, I'm trying new method which will load the extension every time when Visual Studio Code will run. But the problem is I don't know where the ".vscode/extensions" folder is located on Mac.

NEW METHOD TRYING: If you want to load your extension or customization each time VS Code runs, copy your project to a new folder under .vscode/extensions. $HOME/.vscode/extensions/myextension

@weinand, tried both ways to install but didn't helped. I also found one error in OUTPUT window:

[ERROR:OmniSharp.Dnx.DnxPaths] The specified runtime path 'default' does not exist. Searched locations

@weinand, Everything sorted except ERROR: error while processing request '{_request}' (exception: {_exception})

my pre-release version 0.10.2 of mono-debug had the wrong publisher, so you are still seeing the original mono-debug. Could you please try it again with this release 0.10.3.

First install the previous mono-debug extension by

• pressing F1
• type "ext"
• select "Show Installed Extensions"
• pick "mono-debug 0.10.2"
• click the "X" on the right of the entry to delete it.
• let VS Code restart

Then install 0.10.3 mono-debug by opening it via VS Code open action.

Where is .vsix file? Because I don't know how to install via source.

[weinand]

Sorry, I forgot to attach it...

[amansingh36]

@weinand, Thanks for the support. But now receiving another error: "error while processing request 'launch' (exception: The best overloaded method match for `OpenDebug.Terminal.LaunchInTerminal(string, string, string[], string, string[], System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary<string,string>)' has some invalid arguments)"

[weinand]

yes, as I said above, I first had to fix the problem with the unreadable error message. Now, that we can see the real error message, I will reopen this bug and work on the fix. Thanks for helping me with this.

@amansingh36 what version of mono do you have installed on your OS X?

[amansingh36]

The latest Mono release: 4.2 Stable (4.2.1.102)

Mono for Mac OS X Universal (32 & 64 bit) preview This package contains both 32 and 64-bit Mono for OS X.

[weinand]

@amansingh36 I think I know what the problem is. Could you please remove the environment variables (the "env": [...]) in your launch config and see whether that makes a difference?

[amansingh36]

@weinand, If I remove "env": { }" still receiving error:

error while processing request 'launch' (exception: The best overloaded method match for `OpenDebug.Terminal.LaunchInTerminal(string, string, string[], string, string[], System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary<string,string>)' has some invalid arguments)

[weinand]

@amansingh36 Could you please try this release.

[amansingh36]

@weinand, Everything worked perfectly fine with your latest release - 0.10.4. Thanks for your help and prompt replies.
