Java compile error , with correct package name.

[arshappleid]

I want to use the the Java debugger, with the code-runner extension from vs code extensions, which uses a different way to come up with package path , for java. When I use that extension, by setting up a class path, and at the same time try to debug the file, the debugger gives me a compile error , stating that the package name is wrong. I can debug the code, normally if I remove the package name, but then will have to add it each time, I want to run the file, by using code-runner.

Is there a way to fix this.

to recreate the problem:

1. Download code runner for vs code.(https://github.com/YaduAhuja/vscode-code-runner/blob/main/code-runner-0.11.4.vsix )latest version.
2. Set the clasp path file , using the code runner keyboard settings or command pallete.
3. run a java program.
4. try to debug a java program.

Java debugger already provides the feature to run and debug a Java application. Is there any reason you have to use code runner together to debug an application?

[arshappleid]

Code runner gives me the option to run multiple languages in the same terminal , and use cmd+r to run any application. Its just convenient, when you are working with multiple languages. It would be nice if I could use the debug , and the code runner at the same time.

Then you should set the correct classpath for Java debugger as well. You can do that within your workspace settings.json. e.g. "java.project.sourcePaths": ["src"]

Would that mean that I will not have to declare the package , before debugging the file ?

Also can I use regex for this ? such as ${filepath}.

Thanks that helped.

Also do you think it would be possible to request a feature that hides the file paths in the console to have a cleaner output ?

This setting accepts relative path, doesn't support variable path.

This is a request to VS Code. microsoft/vscode#100522

Looks like you have solved the problem, i will close the issue.
