Description

Type: Bug

Im using the C++ TestMate extension

  1. Place a breakpoint in a GTest
  2. Run debugging on Unit test
  3. The debugger stops on the breakpoint a spinner in Locals turns around indefinitely
  4. Click continue, etc. nothing happens

If a breakpoint is placed in another file (non-GTest), debugging works.

Debugging can be stopped. After multiple starts and restarts there many
lldb-mi processes using 100% cpu.

Research direction

Reproduce on macOS arm64 with the C++ TestMate extension by setting a breakpoint in a GTest and starting a unit-test debug session. Compare the behavior with a breakpoint in a non-GTest file, then inspect the lldb-mi processes when Locals spins or Continue stops responding. Done means debugging resumes normally without accumulating processes at 100% CPU.
