Inability to Utilise iTerm2 as the External Console for C++ Debugging in CMake Tools on macOS

[DehanLUO]

Brief Issue Summary

Description

I am attempting to debug a C++ project within Visual Studio Code on macOS Sequoia 15.0.1. I have configured my Visual Studio Code setup to use iTerm2 as the external console for debugging c++ code. However, CMake Tools still defaults to macOS Terminal, disregarding my custom terminal preference.

Configuration Details

1. I have include "externalConsole": true" within my settings.json to facilitate the use of an external terminal, which currently opens the default macOS Terminal application and allows for expected interaction with my C++ project.

My CMake Tools Configuration

"cmake.options.statusBarVisibility": "visible",
"cmake.automaticReconfigure": true,
"cmake.debugConfig": {
  "stopAtEntry": true,
  "MIMode": "lldb",
  "miDebuggerPath": "",
  "console": "integratedTerminal",
  "logging": {
    "trace": true,
    "engineLogging": true,
    "traceResponse": true
  },
  "externalConsole": true // Launch an external console for debugging.
},
"cmake.loggingLevel": "debug",

2. In order to switch to iTerm2, I have added the followings in settings.json. This configuration successfully redirects to iTerm2 when I manually open files in an external terminal by right-clicking and selecting "Open in External Terminal" or using the ⇧ + ⌘ + c shortcut.

"terminal.external.osxExec": "iTerm.app",
"terminal.explorerKind": "external"

Issue

Despite these settings, CMake Tools continues to initiate the default macOS Terminal application rather than iTerm2 when the debugger is launched.

1. When initiating CMake Tools debugging, the following configuration output appears in the vscode-cpptools modules:

2. Manual Debug With vscode-cpptools Attempt: I modified .vscode/launch.json with the following setup:

.vscode/launch.json

```json
{
  "version": "0.2.0",
  "configurations": [
    {
      "name": "cppdbg",
      "type": "cppdbg",
      "request": "launch",
      "program": "${command:cmake.launchTargetPath}",
      "args": [],
      "stopAtEntry": true,
      "cwd": "${workspaceFolder}",
      "environment": [
        {
          "name": "PATH",
          "value": "${env:PATH}:${command:cmake.getLaunchTargetDirectory}"
        },
      ],
      "externalConsole": true,
      "MIMode": "lldb"
    }
  ]
}
```

3. Issue: Despite these configurations, pressing F5 to launch debugging still opens the default macOS Terminal instead of iTerm2. Whether the issue is occurring because vscode-cpptools itself has this limitation, which then causes the same issue to appear in CMake Tools when referencing it for debugging?

Hi @DehanLUO , thanks for reporting issue here!
Could you please modify the following configuration to set iTerm2 as the external console for debugging:

"cmake.debugConfig": {
    "externalConsole": true,
    "console": "integratedTerminal",  // Default is integrated terminal
    "externalConsoleCommand": "/usr/bin/open -a iTerm"
}

replace "/usr/bin/open -a iTerm" with the appropriate command for your iTerm2 installation if necessary, and ensure that iTerm2 has the necessary permissions to run external commands.

[DehanLUO]

Hi @Amy-Li03 ,

Thank you for your helpful suggestion! I have updated the configuration as follows:

{
  "cmake.debugConfig": { // The debug configuration to use when debugging a target.
    "stopAtEntry": true, // Stop at the entry point of the target.
    "MIMode": "lldb",
    "miDebuggerPath": "", // Path to lldb debugger."
    "console": "integratedTerminal", // VS Code's integrated terminal.
    "logging": { // Tell what types of messages should be logged to the console.
      "trace": true,
      "engineLogging": true,
      "traceResponse": true,
    },
    "externalConsole": true, // Launch an external console for debugging.
    "externalConsoleCommand": "/usr/bin/open -a iTerm",
  },
  "cmake.loggingLevel": "debug"
}

Additionally, I tested the command /usr/bin/open -a iTerm directly in the macOS Terminal application, and it successfully opened iTerm2. However, when running the configuration within Visual Studio Code, the issue remains unresolved.

Could there be further settings or other specific configurations I should adjust?

Thank you again for your support.

@DehanLUO , thanks for your reply!

Please try set iTerm2 as your integrated terminal in VS Code by adding the following line to your settings.json:
"terminal.integrated.shell.osx": "/usr/bin/open -a iTerm"

If the above doesn't work, you can create a custom task to open iTerm2. In your tasks.json, you might add something like:

{
  "version": "2.0.0",
  "tasks": [
    {
      "label": "Open iTerm",
      "type": "shell",
      "command": "/usr/bin/open",
      "args": ["-a", "iTerm"],
      "problemMatcher": []
    }
  ]
}

After making changes, make sure to restart Visual Studio Code to ensure the new settings take effect.

@Amy-Li03 , thank you for your continued assistance and valuable configuration guidance.

Follow your instructions, I initially add "terminal.integrated.shell.osx": "/usr/bin/open -a iTerm" to settings.json. However, this triggered an "Unknown Configuration Setting" warning. After further review of the Visual Studio Code release notes, I learned that starting in v1.56, terminal.integrated.shell was officially deprecated in favour of the terminal profiles feature (terminal.integrated.profiles.<platform>), which allows for customizable profiles with enhanced environment and icon support. With the recent v1.80 update, the terminal.integrated.shell setting was fully removed.

In response, I have retained the "terminal.integrated.shell.osx": "/usr/bin/open -a iTerm" setting as per your original recommendation and supplemented it by configuring setting.json to include the terminal.integrated.profiles.osx format, aligning with the updated Visual Studio Code requirements. Additionally, I created a custom task in .vscode/tasks.json to open iTerm2 as the external terminal.

Additionally, after applying the configurations above, I encountered another issue when attempting to open a new terminal. Each time I use the default shortcut ⌃ + ⇧ + ` to open a new terminal in Visual Studio Code, the integrated terminal briefly opens and then closes immediately. Following this, iTerm2 opens but does not navigate to the current Visual Studio Code workspace directory, remaining instead at the user's home directory.

At this stage, I would appreciate any additional guidance or alternative solutions you may suggest to help resolve these persistent issues. Thank you again for your patience and support.

Hi @gcampbell-msft, do you have any suggestions at here?

@Amy-Li03 This sounds like a bug on our end that will require investigation into how we launch our debug configuration. I'll mark the issue as such.
