Arduino Debugging Environment not displaying in list

[DerekFoster1976]

I use an MXChip (with VSC 1.48.2) which has fully supported debugging with the extension. However, when I just have the .ino file open in the workspace (no other files open) and try to debug by Run>Start Debugging it does not list the Arduino environment (see screenshot1), When I open an additional file such as the settings.json file the full list of environment options is shown when I do Run>Start Debugging (screenshot2).

I also see the same when trying to create a launch.json file from VSCode. If I have the sketch open, I only get the C++ options, I have to have the settings.json open to be able to get a launch.json created with the Arduino debugging option.
