(this is just a memo for me)

A current commit revision is 2f3ee57 . This panic is raised at https://github.com/c-bata/go-prompt/blob/2f3ee57cf5d006ef778e5fab923ed0022eba2168/posix_input.go#L106-L114

And maybe retCode was 25

Let me know if I can help.

I don't know why this panic is raised but ptrace system call that is used by GDB for tracing processes may disturb ioctl execution.

I found a similar issue, but this issue is not resolved. https://github.com/quarnster/SublimeGDB/issues/38

In fact, the problem is not in your code, but somewhere in between vs-code and dlv. It seems that stdin is not available in the debuging context. Someone has suggested to use dlv headless feature... and this works.

First, add a launch configuration for remote in launch.json

        {
            "name": "Remote",
            "type": "go",
            "request": "launch",
            "mode": "remote",
            "remotePath": "${workspaceRoot}",
            "port": 2345,
            "host": "127.0.0.1",
            "program": "${workspaceRoot}",
            "env": {}
        }

In the terminal windows, in the package folder, launch dlv: dlv debug --headless --listen=:2345

Then launch the debug session using the remote configuration.
