Im new to stackoverflow and VS Code. When I tried to debug my code I got error message, and couldn't fix it.

I uploaded the error message

            ],
            "preLaunchTask": "C/C++: g++.exe build active file"
        }
    ]
}

and task.json:

{
    "tasks": [
        {
            "type": "cppbuild",
            "label": "C/C++: g++.exe build active file",

            "args": [
                "-g",
                "${file}",
                "-o",
                "${fileDirname}\\${fileBasenameNoExtension}.exe"
            ],
            "options": {
                "cwd": "C:\\TDM-GCC-64\\bin"
            },
            "problemMatcher": [

            ],
            "group": {
                "kind": "build",

            "detail": "Generated task by Debugger"
        }
    ],
    "version": "2.0.0"
}

my main.cpp file is simply printes "Hello"

I installed MinGW and its directory is : C:\MinGW<
I hope there is someone who can help me.

I encountered the same problem recently. It seems that the auto-generated tasks.json is not set correctly and the executable is created in the root directory. This can be fixed by changing the type from "cppbuild" to "shell".

{
    "tasks": [
        {
            "type": "shell",
            ...
        }
    ],
    "version": "2.0.0"
}
