Description
Hi !
I've noticed that we can't share debugging with clients during a live share session.
I'm using the latest version of Vs Code 1.43.1
Here is the vs code extensions I use :
- Language Support for Java(TM) by Red Hat
- Debugger for JavaPreview
- Live Share Extension PackPreview : with setting
"liveshare.allowGuestDebugControl": true
How to reproduce :
- start a live share session
- invite someone (a "client")
- the client set a breakpoint in the code
- the client launch the Java main program with
Runlauncher from Vs Code
What I see :
- the debug is correctly started on my station (the server)
- I see the execution stopped on the breakpoint (the line is coloured)
- The client don't see the debugging toolbar and the coloured line
What I expect :
- the client has access to the debug toolbar
- the client can control the debugging
Thanks !

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue with VS Code 1.43.1, the listed Java extensions, and the setting liveshare.allowGuestDebugControl. Run a Java main program through the VS Code Run launcher during a Live Share session, then compare the server and client debugging UI. Done means the client sees the debugging toolbar and highlighted breakpoint and can control execution.
