Description
The run/debug button on the editor does not respect the launch.json file. I have a particular project which the main class is actually in separate jar file. After configuring the runtime classpath and mainClass in the launch.json, I am able to run it fine using the command debug: start without debugging. However, the run/debug button complains that the main method is not found.
Environment
- Operating System: macOS 12.6
- JDK version: JDK 1.8
- Visual Studio Code version: 1.7.1.2
- Java extension version: RedHat 1.11.0
- Java Debugger extension version: 0.44.0
Steps To Reproduce
- Create a jar file with a main function
- Add it to your classpath and configure the name of the main class
- A project that implements the missing functions in that jar file
- Click the run button
(Can not attach the project)
Current Result
Main method not found
Expected Result
This button should respect to my launch.json file
