Bash debugging does not start with version 1.44.0

[manuel-192]

• VSCode Version: 1.44.0
• OS Version: EndeavourOS (Arch Linux based, rolling, with latest updates installed)

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Update Visual Studio Code to new version 1.44.0 and use the Bash Debug extension (0.3.7) by rogalmic
2. Try to Start Debugging your bash code
3. The terminal output shows error message:
   bash: line 0: cd: too many arguments
   and debugging does not start.

Note: previous Visual Studio Code version 1.43.2 does not have this issue.

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Only using the Bash Debug extension.

This issue is caused by an extension, please file it with the repository (or contact) the extension has linked in its overview in VS Code or the marketplace for VS Code. See also our issue reporting guidelines.

Happy Coding!

The only thing that changed is Visual Studio code. The same extension version of Bash Debug works as expected with the older (and many other older) versions of Visual Studio Code, but not with 1.44.0.

So I'd like to see more details backing up the claim that the extension is the cause.

Yes, may be VS Code is the culprit, but the author of the Bash Debug extension needs to find out what the problem is. We have no know-how with the Bash Debug extension. If the problem is on our side we'll reopen this issue. But we cannot verify every extension out there...

OK, I already wrote to them as well.
Thanks for answering!

From the Bash Debug extension creator I got this kind of response: rogalmic/vscode-bash-debug#133.
He thinks this this is a VsCode issue related to semicolon handling. Please look at the thread behind the link.

The issue is still affecting Visual Studio Code versions 1.44.0 to 1.44.2.
The integrated terminal fails to start bash debugging. The external terminal option allows bash debugging to start.
