Debugging ESP32 with ESP-Prog - Breakpoints one line out

Hey All,

I'm brand new to VisualMicro... Ace tool... Cheers.

I'm debugging an ESP32 DevKit with the ESP-Prog JTAG debugger in Visual Studio 2019 Enterprise Preview 6... 

When I set a breakpoint and debug the code, the breakpoints shift by a line.

Stepping through the code shows that the debugger and the code are out of step by a line. The debugger is successfully stepping, but the code is highlighting the line before the actual executed code.

The code is just a really simply push button and led test, so nothing complicated, no includes or anything.

I've disabled all the optimization for the project - Core, Libraries and Project, and set the debugging to "No Optimization".

I think I've attached everything I need to this post.

There's also a tiny video of it happening here;

Any help would be great...

Thanks!

Pete.

Thanks for all the info. We have replicated the issue in the last build and hope to replace it during the next couple of days. This thread will be updated when the build is available.

There is an Sp1 fix in the LATEST thread of the link below. The version is 20.06.18.1.

https://www.visualmicro.com/forums/YaBB.pl?board=VS_ARDUINO_EXT_RELEASES

As reqpored, the issue applied to compiler error reporting and GDB for code in the project_name.ino. Other .ino files or cpp files were unaffected.

Thanks again for the report.

Sadly that didn't seem to work Sad...

I did a Clean Solution and toggled the "Shared Cache for Cores" option too.

I've attached the MicroBuild Output again...

Thanks so much for all your help!

From the log it appears the update isn't installed (Api: 1.2020.0618-0). We have a video covering this on our You Tube channel.

Of course let us know if you have any issues with the process.

Ah... I had installed it correctly... But, I had to go into Extensions->Updates and then perform the update in there after I installed it (I didn't expect to have to do that)!

It's all working now... Cheers!

Maybe this helps for the future. See if it makes sense? 

In the forum releases the 20.06.18.1 was pinned to the top of the page and has a description that starts with LATEST. 

That version was subsequently pushed to the gallery later yesterday which is why the extension manager download worked for you.

It is possible you installed the 20.06.18.0 from the forum yesterday.

Thanks again for the report.

AH... I think you're right, looking at my downloads directory!

Apologies, and thanks very much for the info and all the help!
