Adding "args": "Hello World" to launch.json result in non-starting debug

[colindavidfoster]

Bash-Debug seems to work fine until I try to pass in a command line argument at which point I just get a continuous blue Knight Rider strobe under the DEBUG AND RUN box

Executables

Version 0.3.6

where bash gives /bin/bash

code --version gives /usr/share/code/bin/../code: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libdbus-1.so.3: no version information available (required by /usr/share/code/bin/../code) 1.41.1 26076a4de974ead31f97692a0d32f90d735645c0 x64

} ] }

[rogalmic]

Please use array for args:

"args": [ "Hello, World" , "arg2" ],

I will need to fix error handling though, since extension should show proper error...

[felipecrs]

You can also use argsString now:

{ 
  "argsString": "\"Hello, World\" arg2"
}

I believe this issue can be closed.
