Error: Specified argument was out of the range of valid values. (Parameter 'index')

[virusbear]

Please include the following with each issue:

1. Describe the bug When starting a debugging session of a downloaded snapshot using the "AL: Show all snapshots" action, I am represented with the error message Specified argument was out of range of valid values. (Parameter 'index') after selecting the wanted snapshot.

DebuggerServices_13.0.14.54431.log DebuggerServices_14.0.15.3709.log

2. To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Create an empty extension with the app.json content listed below
2. Initialize a snapshot debugging session
3. Finish the snapshot debugging session after executing the required actions in the web client
4. Select the snapshot using "AL: Show all snapshots" action in VSCode

This error is not reproducible for every scenario. This is the first time we were able to observe this issue. We already tried using different installations of VS Code, on Windows 10 and Windows 11 environments. All combinations display the same error.

the above listed app.json is a default extension we internally use for debugging purposes. This extension works in multiple environments, incl. OnPrem and SaaS customers.

3. Expected behavior A debugging session should start, stopping execution at any available and valid breakpoints.

4. Actual behavior Upon loading the debugging session the above listed error message is shown. Any further action cancels the debugging session.

Looks like a mismatch in symbols with your local file and the server file. Maybe clean your symbol cache and download symbols with the snapshot endpoint (snapshot config).

[virusbear]

Cleaning the symbols cache was the first thing we tried. Unfortunately, the issue persisted afterward. Download was only done with the snapshot config, as this one is the only configuration available in the launch.json. The extension in question is also only used for debugging and, thus does not contain any objects. We additionally followed the below process, which we usually do when we encounter issues with debugging/symbols in general.

1. remove the .alpackages folder from the project
2. reload window
3. Download symbols from the environment to debug
4. reload the window again
5. start debugging session (initialize snapshot in this case)

Unfortunately, none of the above options helped with the situation
