Opening a project folder

deppenkaiser commented 3 months ago

Type: Bug

I have a folder, where three sub projects are included. This three apps works together as Client and Server. I must debug both at the same time. So i try to open my super project folder in two different VS Code sessions, in order to start and debug a client and a server.

This well known and often used technic is now not possible. The VS Code IDE does not open the same folder a second time. Why this?

VS Code version: Code 1.92.0 (b1c0a14de1414fcdaa400695b4db1c0799bc3124, 2024-07-31T23:26:45.634Z) OS version: Linux x64 6.8.0-39-generic snap Modes:

AFAIK you can run 2 debug sessions in one window.

Also there should be separate command to duplicate workspace in other window

deppenkaiser commented 2 months ago

Yes, this is possible. But it is not a good solution, because you have two debug-instances and only one debug-tool. There are many reasons why this is sub optimal. In the past (good old times) where always two tools for two debug-instances. Debugging can cause problems in the debugger, and you have two (or more) different datasets with only one viewer (debugger). There are also problems with timeouts. A breakpoint can disturb timeout Situations.

I use Linux streaming (GStreamer with Cameras), the data stream will broke if u set a breakpoint.

deppenkaiser commented 2 months ago

break (brake, broke, broken) :-)

deppenkaiser commented 2 months ago

I think both should be possible, this would be the best way.

You can

Run multiple debug sessions in one window. I do this often, it works well for me. But if you don't like that you can:
Open subfolders for your sub projects
Use a workspace to open the same folder in multiple windows: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/multi-root-workspaces
