addpath on workingDirectory results in Invalid Path #60

Closed tmayer18 closed 2 years ago

tmayer18 commented 2 years ago

When running the debugger, I receive a warning produced by the addpath that sets up the required path directories: 

warning: addpath: c:\Users\...\Code\Homework:C:\Users\...\Code\MATLAB Scripts: No such file or directory

(note that ... has replaced long intermediate filepaths with identifying information)

The issue here is that the two paths are being separated by the : character rather than the pathsep() value. My octave installation returns ; when running pathsep(), which I suspect to be due to me running on a Windows OS. If I manually run addpath with the same string, but with the ; between the two paths, it works as it should, though I would prefer to not explicitly run addpath at the start of all my scripts.

I took at look at the source, but I don't know Typescript or VSC extensions at all, and couldn't see where this character was being added. The comment on this line however claims to separate explicitly with the :, so I will believe that. https://github.com/paulo-fernando-silva/vscOctaveDebugger/blob/70a03e07a8f228cd9cb7b9f524f8f46d22c39679/src/Commands.ts#L26

If there is a configuration fix that I have overlooked that would address this problem, please let me know.

Thanks for pointing that out. Version v0.4.24 should fix that. Please reopen the bug if it doesn't work for you.
