Debugging rust code in vscode with WSL

help
1

I cannot debug my rust code which is in WSL with VScode installed on my windows. I get these below errors during "debug".

Error: there is no registered task type 'codelldb.cargo'. Did you miss installing an extension that provides a corresponding task provider?

Strangely I can "run" my code using vscode, I get expected output and don't see any error there. It is only during debug I see these errors

BTW I have installed these extension for WSL in vscode

codeLLDB
rust-analyzer

version info

WSL  version 1
vscode 1.72.2

What I'm missing here

Can't talk for your specific problem, but I strongly advise you to switch to WSL 2. It's faster, more robust, and supports more features (like direct Docker integration or systemd among many other things) :slight_smile:

I got exactly the same issue on a freshly installed system.

This issue is due to WSL version. issue got fixed after upgrading WSL from v1 to v2
