Debugger didn't work on macOS 12.6 - reGetSock fail

[mkb81]

The debugging mode didn't work on my Apple M1 MacBook Air M1 with macOS 12.6 My Visual Studio Code version is 1.71.2 and the Lua plugin is on version 0.2.19

I get the following error output

lua -e  "package.path = '/Users/mkb/.vscode/extensions/yinfei.luahelper-0.2.19/debugger/?.lua;'.. package.path;  package.cpath = '/Users/mkb/.vscode/extensions/yinfei.luahelper-0.2.19/debugger/luasocket/mac/lua5.4/?.so;'.. package.cpath; require('LuaPanda').start('127.0.0.1',8818);" "/Users/mkb/Desktop/marc/marc.lua"

[LuaPanda] [Error] reGetSock fail

luasocket is installed on my system

    ]
}

The same debug configuration on my Intel Mac mini with macOS 12.6 works fine.

I got the same error. It's like the core.so file is incompatible with Apple M1. Error log:

[LuaPanda] [Error] reGetSock fail
[LuaPanda] [Error] Start debugger but get Socket fail , please install luasocket!
lua: error loading module 'socket.core' from file '/Users/t4erg/.vscode/extensions/yinfei.luahelper-0.2.19/debugger/luasocket/mac/lua5.4/socket/core.so':

Solution here in another issue ( https://github.com/Tencent/LuaHelper/issues/8 ). You need to set the packagePath to include the directory.
