Research direction

Start by reproducing the Windows configuration using pipeTransport's cwd and a relative program, then compare it with the documented full-path workaround. Done means the program resolves and launches correctly from the configured cwd without requiring a full path.

Description

bug debugger

Setting pipeTransport's cwd and then just specifying the program combination doesn't seem to work properly on Windows.

Workaround: Specify the full path in the pipeTransport's program field.
