I’m having difficulties debugging a specific scene with VSCode. My “Launch in Editor” profile works just fine.

Here is the launch profile and task for “Launch (Select Scene)”:

{
    "name": "Launch (Select Scene)",
    "type": "godot-mono",
    "request": "launch",
    "mode": "executable",
    "preLaunchTask": "build",
    "executable": "C:/dev/GameDevelopment/GodotEngine/Godot_v3.5.1-stable_mono_win64/Godot_v3.5.1-stable_mono_win64.exe\r",
    "executableArguments": [
        "--path",
        "${workspaceRoot}",
        "${command:SelectLaunchScene}"
    ]
}

And the task

"tasks": [
    {
        "label": "build",
        "command": "C:/dev/GameDevelopment/GodotEngine/Godot_v3.5.1-stable_mono_win64/Godot_v3.5.1-stable_mono_win64.exe\r",
        "type": "process",
        "args": [
            "--build-solutions",
            "--path",
            "${workspaceRoot}",
            "--no-window",
            "-q"
        ],
        "problemMatcher": "$msCompile"
    }
]

And the error message from my VSCode terminal (not sure why it’s truncating things)

 --build-solutions --path C:\dev\GameDevelopment\GodotProjects\StarSwarm --no-window -q dot_v3.5.1-stable_mono_win64.exe


" does not exist. rocess failed to launch: Path to shell executable "C:\dev\GameDevelopment\GodotEngine\Godot_v3.5.1-stable_mono_win64\Godot_v3.5.1-stable_mono_win64.exe

I asked ChatGPT for help, and it pointed out the errant \r characters in the paths.

Wow.

Problem solved.
