Debugging with AutoHotkey Plus Plus

[kdaube]

launch.json is this:

Code: Select all

{
    "version": "0.2.0",
    "configurations": [
      {
        "name": "AutoHotkey Debug",
        "type": "ahk",
        "request": "launch",
        "runtime": "H:/Utilities/AutoHotkey/AHK2/AutoHotkeyU64.exe",
        "program": "${file}",
        "stopOnEntry": true
      },
   ]
}

The debugging client is AutoHotkey Plus Plus. Vscode marketplace reports its version as 1.11.0, but in vscode > Extension the version is reported as v3.2.0 (so what is the status of it?)
I have installed AHK v2 according to the recommendations, that is

• V2 is located in H:\Utilities\AutoHotkey\AHK2
• V1 is located in H:\Utilities\AutoHotkey\AHK2\v1.1.36.02

1. I can debug v1 scripts. The small triangle top right opens its popup menu correctly
2. For a v2 scripts nothing happens on F5 (whether there is a #Requires AutoHotkey v2.0 or not).
   The small triangle top right opens on click and closes immediately
   F11 maximises the window to the whole screen estate - so obviously we are not in debug mode.
   I get the message «AutoHotkey execute bin not found: C:\Program Files\Autohotkey\v2\AutoHotkey.exe»

→ What is wrong with my setup?

Hi, maintainer of AHK++ here. What is your execute path in settings (Ctrl+,)?

I will say I don't usually use a `launch.json`, I just rely on the execute path setting and update it for v2 or v1 based on what workspace I have.
