Do not create tasks.json when creating debug configuration for gcc build active file #5270
Description
Type: Debugger
Describe the bug
- OS and Version:Ubuntu 18.04.4
- VS Code Version: 1.43.2
- C/C++ Extension Version: 0.27.0
- Other extensions you installed (and if the issue persists after disabling them): Python and LiveShare, issue persistts after disabling the extensions
- A clear and concise description of what the bug is.
Please include a code sample and launch.json configuration.
`
launch.json.txt
`
Steps to Reproduce:
- Install C/C++ extension ms-vscode.cpptools
- Start debugging
- Select environment: C++(GDB/LLDB)
- Select gcc run and debug active file
A launch.json file is created but no tasks.json. So it does not compile before starting the debugger. I tried to do it by hand by going to Menu -> Terminal -> Configure tasks -> Create tasks.json file from template I do not have such option for creating tasks.json for 'gcc build active file'
Additional context
If applicable, please include logging by adding "logging": { "engineLogging": true, "trace": true, "traceResponse": true } in your launch.json
Add any other context about the problem here including log or error messages in your Debug Console or Output windows.

Elaheh Rashedi (@elahehrashedi) did you fix this with your build tasks change?

This is fixed in the new build task changes. Will be available in C/C++ Extension Version: 1.1.0.

With https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-cpptools/releases/tag/1.1.0-insiders this is fixed for tasks.json, but not launch.json -- seems like VS Code doesn't yet have a way to fix the launch.json case, other than us adding text to the end of the launch.json name/lable.
