The CMake tab on the left side panel is not visible for me even though the CMake Tools Extension is enabled. I'm on Ubuntu 18.04 and using the latest build of vscode (1.56.2) if that helps.

[@willfeng6149]

Having the same issue. Why some extension shows up in the activity bar, and some don't? So wierd.

[@RakVish]

@@willfeng6149 I resolved the issue and posted the steps in a video. Please refer to this: ruclips.net/video/YmcewATKf0Y/видео.html

[@willfeng6149]

@@RakVish That explains well. Appreciate very much!

[@RakVish]

@@willfeng6149 No problem. Happy it help 😄.

How to step into the library source codes when debugging?

[@Scherbakov]

Hello! When I try to debug, I get an error: "Unable to start debugging. LLDB exited unexpectedly with exit
code 134 (0x86)." What could be the problem? (mac os 10.13.6) Thanks!

[@jeevans3810]

Hey i got fatal error : cannot open file library.lib While building. Any one help

[@hansargentinia5028]

I love you

[@bktadventures2878]

i cant tell if everyone knows this or if everyone is just some crackhead vim user that never debugs visually, but isnt this setup essential es hell to work with C++? Why doesnt everyone need to know this and videos like these blow up? Or is everyone just so rich they use CLion that does everything for you?

[@icermli]

hi, what if i want to debug a program with arguments?

[@dhidhi1000]

Launch.json has a field to add arguments, I would try adding there a list of strings
