Issue with two processes sharing similar path when using attach

[osaxma]

OS: macos_x64 (21G115) VSCode version: Version: 1.82.2 CodeLLDB version: v1.10.0 Compiler: Apple clang version 14.0.0 (clang-1400.0.29.202) Debuggee: Mach-O 64-bit executable x86_64

Issue

I am getting the following error message when I try to run an attach request:

Could not attach: more than one process named /Users/osaxma/Projects/dart-sdk-dev/sdk/xcodebuild/DebugX64/dart:
PID    PARENT USER       TRIPLE                         ARGUMENTS

I am trying to debug the following process:

/Users/osaxma/Projects/dart-sdk-dev/sdk/xcodebuild/DebugX64/dart

but there's already another process with the following path:

 /Users/osaxma/Projects/dart-sdk-dev/sdk/xcodebuild/DebugX64/dart-sdk/bin/dart

which the extension confuses (most likely because they match exactly until the -).

my launch config:

{
    "name": "LLDB VM Service (attach)",
    "type": "lldb",
    "request": "attach",
    "program": "${workspaceFolder:sdk}/xcodebuild/DebugX64/dart",
},

As a workaround, I am using "pid": "${command:pickMyProcess}" instead.

Process name matching for attach is implemented in LLDB, nothing I can change about that. I'd recommend looking into Python scripting to automate your scenario.

Thanks @vadimcn -- I totally missed out that you could launch the extension using the code command.
