`dap-debug` does not find debug configurations in `.vscode/launch.json`

[cowboyd]

Given current project:

(project-current)
;;; => (vc Git "~/project/")

VSCode users on our project have their launch configurations in ~/project/.vscode/launch.json, and so I was hoping to be able to use those out of the box, but when I run the (dap-debug) command, it only finds one configuration call "Node Run Configuration"

Is launch.json included by your .gitignore? I had the same issue and letting launch.json get tracked by Git fixed it.

@nvimtor Thanks for sharing that potential solution. hmmm... Yes, it is definitely tracked by git, so I'm still not sure what's going on.

@cowboyd nevermind, I noticed the configurations from launch.json only show up if I call (dap-debug) from the launch.json buffer. Does it work if you run M+x dap-debug inside the launch.json file?

Interesting! I tried that, but it is still showing !/0 ahead of the Select Configuration Template: prompt, and if I enter in the launch name manually, it still reports that it is not found.
