Path Substitutions Ignored for Attach

[brownts]

The path substitutions are intially handled in "setPathSubstitutions" (i.e., gdb.ts and lldb.ts) by adding specific debugger commands (e.g., "set substitute-path" for GDB), to the list of "extraCommands" in miDebugger. However, these extra commands are only sent to the backend for the "launch" configuration, but not for the "attach". It appears the only place the "extraCommands" are referenced are in "MI2.initCommands", which is only invoked from the "MI2.load" API (which corresponds to the "launch" configuration). It is likely "initCommands" should also be called from the "MI2.connect" and "MI2.attach" APIs as well, which correspond to the "attach" configuration.

Good catch!

I was looking into this a bit more and it seems like this likely doesn't work at all for LLDB. I don't typically use LLDB, but installed it to experiment with a potential fix to this. I noticed that in "lldb.js", neither "launchRequest" nor "attachRequest" call "setPathSubstitutions" (as they do in the gdb.ts versions), so no extra commands are even enqueued for LLDB. I played around with adding a call to "setPathSubstitutions" in the LLDB "launchRequest" to see if it would then at least work for the launch configuration, but ran into another problem. It appears the "settings set target.source-map" (used in the LLDB version of "setPathSubstitutions") is not recognized by LLDB-MI (at least lldb-mi-9 that I was using).

GDB -> App: {"token":4,"outOfBandRecord":[],"resultRecords":{"resultClass":"error","results":[["msg","Driver. Received command '4-settings set target.source-map C:\\test /home/troy/git/hello_world_exe/../..'. It was not handled. Command 'settings' not in Command Factory"]]}}

It's unclear to me if this was not tested or maybe my lldb-mi version is too old. Is there an alternative command that should be used here instead or do I need a newer version of lldb-mi?

That is not lldb-mi command, it should be sent to lldb as "normal command" as it is when you enter a command in the console - which should work, doesn't it? If that works the setPathSubstitutions "just" needs to use the same sequence of commands.

Thanks. I think my problem is that I needed to use "sendCliCommand" instead of just "sendCommand". That seems to fix that particular issue I was having. I'll keep working on this.
