Run and Debug problems in Visual Studio Code using haxe

Question

I'm currently coding in Haxe with Heaps using Visual Studio Code. The latter has recently updated to version 1.56 which is now giving my a strange problem I can't manage to fix. Before the update, I was able to click Run and Debug using Hashlink in order to open the window of my game. After the update, when I Run and Debug it no longer opens the window, despite the compile.hxml and launch.json being exactly the same as before:

compile.hxml:

-cp src
-lib heaps
-lib hlsdl
-hl main.hl
-main Main

.json

"version": "0.2.0",
"configurations": [
    {
        "name": "HashLink (launch)",
        "request": "launch",
        "type": "hl",
        "cwd": "${workspaceFolder}",
        "preLaunchTask": {
            "type": "haxe",
            "args": "active configuration"
        }
    },
    {
        "name": "HashLink (attach)",
        "request": "attach",
        "port": 6112,
        "type": "hl",
        "cwd": "${workspaceFolder}",
        "preLaunchTask": {
            "type": "haxe",
            "args": "active configuration"
        }
    }
]

Is anyone experiencing a similar problem?

Update: hashlink-debugger 1.1.2 was released, which should fix the problem.

It's a known issue:

HL debugger no longer works in latest vscode #97

You can downgrade to the previous VSCode release or subscribe to the issue and wait for the hashlink-debugger update.
