How to set timeout for VM

[clankill3r]

I'm altering classes with javassist and I have reason to believe this takes longer then 10 seconds. I get the following:

And I was wondering, can I make that time period longer?

Not supported yet. We didn't expose the timeout setting for the launching.

We only expose the timeout in launch.json for remote debugging.

Hi @clankill3r, I'm an AI Support assistant here to help with your issue. While the team reviews your request, I wanted to provide some possible tips and documentation that might help you in the meantime.

You can increase the debug-attach timeout by adding a timeout attribute (in milliseconds) to your launch.json. For example:

{
  "version": "0.2.0",
  "configurations": [
    {
      "type": "java",
      "name": "Debug (Launch)",
      "request": "launch",
      "mainClass": "com.example.Main",
      "timeout": 30000     // wait up to 30 seconds for the VM to start
    }
  ]
}

• See the official Java Debug configuration docs for all supported attributes: • https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-java-debug#configuration-attributes
