${workspaceFolder} as source pathMappings in launch.json is no longer replaced

[neubreed]

Using Xdebug extension in a remote SSH server, the following used to map properly

"pathMappings": {
    "${workspaceFolder}": "${workspaceFolder}"
},

[Step Debug] Breakpoint file name does not exist: 
 /home/undiscovered.stg/${workspaceFolder}/src/Controller/PlatformController.php (No such file or directory)

Now the ${workspaceFolder} variable is not replaced in the source. The home directory of the server is added to the front of what's placed in the source. eg. if I change it to the following:

"pathMappings": {
    "/home/undiscovered.stg/public": "${workspaceFolder}"
}

This is the mapping:

/home/undiscovered.stg//home/undiscovered.stg/public/src/Controller/PlatformController.php

This happened immediately after updating to VS Code 1.99.0

I'll try to reproduce the issue. How do you access remote files? I'd appreciate a log:true output so I have abetter idea what the extension is doing.

I'm using the Microsoft remote SSH extension and the debug extension is installed remotely. What / how do I log:true ?

[zobo]

Usually, when you use Remote SSH, the Debugger already runs next to the files, so there is no need for mapping. Unless your app is also in Docker.

Your mapping also says to map the file to the same file (workspaceFolder->workspaceFolder), so that doesn't make much sense.

If you add log:true to your launch.json configuration, there will be debug output in the Debugger Console pane. Please attach all output.

I tested this here and indeed this looks like a VSCode regression. I'll open an issue with them.

I initially posted this issue there, and they bounced me over here. Or the bot did.

You are right about omitting pathMappings altogether .. Seems to work fine without it!

Many thanks.
