Unable to start the VSCode debugger with the Gauge Framework

Software Versions:

I have a Gauge framework based on Python setup. I have a spec file, with scenarios installed. I also have a break point set at point in the glue code. When I click on the Debug Spec hyperlink, I get an error message that says the following:

Failed to start debugger: The debugger does not work for a stand alone file. Please open the folder c:\Projects\IAS_Desktop_Automation\ias_desktop_automation.

Error GIF

Please advise how I could get the debugger to work.

Update: I've got log file results too as well from gauge.log

This issue was introduced by the latest gauge extension update (version 0.0.21)

  1. Change your Auto Update Extensions to None
  2. Down rev your gauge extension in vscode to 0.0.20

You can get version 20 from here under the Version History tab: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=getgauge.gauge#install-from-source

Place the download in your workspace than run the following command in the terminal:

code --install-extension getgauge.gauge-0.0.20.vsix

I reverted the Gauge plugin for VSCode to v0.0.20 and the debugger worked as expected.

enter image description here

There is an issue raised in github to look at the issue in the latest version: https://github.com/getgauge/gauge-vscode/issues/726
