Description

I believe that this is related to https://github.com/Shopify/ruby-lsp/issues/1494. When I attempt to start a debugging session of this simple example:

# test.rb
x = 1
puts "Hello world x=#{x}"
# puts "I wonder what in the 🌎 is going on?"

The debugger will immediately bring up a dialog stating "Debugger exited with status 1." No further information appears in the "output channel".

Remove the line with the emoji and the debugger will function as expected.

Research direction

Start with the minimal test.rb example and reproduce the VSCode debugging session on macOS with the emoji line enabled, then compare it with the working version without that line. Read the related ruby-lsp issue 1494 for context; done means the debugger no longer exits with status 1 and provides usable output for this example.
