error Debug adapter process has terminated unexpectedly

[keithgb]

On Windows 7 I cannot seem to get the debugger to work.

Hi Keith, can you open the DebugAdapter.log file in the following location and copy/paste the error at the very end of the file?

c:\Users\<yourusername>\.vscode\extensions\ms-vscode.PowerShell\bin

Thanks!

[keithgb]

​Sure thank you!

What version of PowerShell are you using? It looks like you aren't using PowerShell v5. Currently only PowerShell v5 is supported though some things may work with earlier versions of PowerShell. If you aren't using v5 then I'm pretty impressed that you've only just hit an issue while trying to debug :)

[keithgb]

​you are correct I am on 3.0.

I will attempt to install 5 to see if that resolves.

I'm going to track this issue over at the PowerShellEditorServices repo with this issue:

PowerShell/PowerShellEditorServices#73

Thanks again for the report!

[ConnectedReasoning]

I'm getting this error on a Mac. Where should I look for the log?

[daviwil]

Hi @ConnectedReasoning, the debugging feature doesn't work on OSX because PowerShell is not supported on that platform. All language and debugging features (aside from syntax highlighting and snippets) need the PowerShell runtime to operate.

[FaffeF]

Still getting this error with PowerShell v6.0.0-alpha.9 installed on OSX El Capitan.

The DebugAdapterClient.log is empty 😿

[daviwil]

Hey @FaffeF, you may need to install OpenSSL on your Mac for the extension to work correctly. Check out our installation instructions here:

https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell/blob/master/docs/learning-powershell/using-vscode.md

Check out the 'NOTE' in the OS X installation instructions for VS Code.

[FaffeF]

OpenSSL was already installed. Updated the extension to 0.7.1 this morning, and suddenly debugging worked!

• Then it worked again!
• Then it didn't work (same error, showing me launch.json)
• Then it worked a lot across different files.
• Then it failed a lot.
• After a restart debugging works again...

Log files look like below, with the error the only difference between successful and failed attempts.

Connecting to port: 13596
Connected to socket!

Socket connect ERROR: Error: read ECONNRESET
Socket closed, shutting down.

[daviwil]

So sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't work in the same session... That's strange, but it gives me some clues. Let's continue this discussion over on issue #243 because others are seeing similar issues there.
