on Oct 23, 2020 ContributorMore actionsThe user is getting this screen after running "Run and debug" or pressing "F5". I fixed this issue and sent a PR.

the paths are not visible:

I solved this problem for "Run and Debug". look at bug: #6376Sean McManus (@sean-mcmanus) but when we are running ("C/C++ build and debug active file), the details are not visible and it seems to be on Vs Code side, as the details are being set, but the API doesn't show them. I need to investigate more on this. If the details (i.e. compiler paths) are shown to the user, they will see the difference between different compilers. I opened a new issue for this.

When we have a workspace folder open, in the Debug panel when clicking the Add Configuration option and then select C++ (GDB/LLDB), some options with the same name are offered:
I tried all three "g++ build and debug active file". Options 1 and 2 generates the same
launch.jsonandtasks.json; option 3 creates a slightly differentlaunch.jsonfile ("miDebuggerPath": "/bin/gdb"instead of"/usr/bin/gdb").In any case, this is confusing.
