When an error occurs while publishing an app, cancelling the dialog also clears the Debug Console

[MODUSCarstenScholling]

1. Describe the bug When an error occurs while publishing an app, cancelling the dialog also clears the Debug Console. So the information what happened is removed. This behavior was different in older AL Language extensions.

2. To Reproduce

• Open an AL-app in VSCode
• Make a change that causes an installed app to fail compilation
• Hit F5 in VSCode to compile and publish

Example Output/Error:

[2025-10-15 07:36:18.68] Publishing AL application using launch configuration 'launch-bc265de'.

After that error, a popup is shown, asking to "Open 'launch.json'" or "Cancel".

[Window Title]
Visual Studio Code

[Content]
Could not publish the package to the server. See Visual Studio Code debug console for more details.

[Open 'launch.json'] [Cancel]

I am not interested in the launch.json, because I know there is no issue, so hitting Cancel.

3. Expected behavior Debug Console content is kept to show the error.

4. Actual behavior As soon as I hot cancel, some information pops up in the lower right of VSCode. Then the Debug Console is cleared and the following error is shown:

[Window Title]
Visual Studio Code

[Content]
No workspace folder found for launch configuration

[Open 'launch.json'] [Cancel]
