vscode launch.json files

[robertblackwell]

HI, Looking for help with vscode launch files in order use a pico debug probe (not a second pico). I am working on a Ubuntu 22.04 host, have openocd setup and can use gdb-multiarch to debug a blink program on a pico. When I try to use the launch files provided in pico-examples/ide/vscode vscode complains that:

        "type":"cortex-debug",

"please use node type instead", and for these : "executable": "${command:cmake.launchTargetPath}", "servertype": "external", "gdbPath" : "gdb-multiarch", "gdbTarget": "localhost:3333", "svdFile": "${env:PICO_SDK_PATH}/src/rp2040/hardware_regs/rp2040.svd", "runToEntryPoint": "main", // Work around for stopping at main on restart "postRestartCommands": [ "break main", "continue" ]

each of these lines have a key words that are "not allowed". I am obviously missing something that will turn out to be obvious. But I cannot see it.
