Unable to debug with JLINK. VS parameters problems ???

I can use the JLINK to upload application. When I start application  compile and upload is OK, but after it switch to build log and have a message 

1>------ Déploiement ignoré : Projet : testHello, Configuration : Debug x64 ------
1>Projet non sélectionné dans le cadre d'une génération pour cette configuration de solution 
========== Déploiement : 0 réussis, 0 échoués, 1 ignorés ==========

with  an alert window " unable to start the debugger check debugger parameters".

When I check the debugger parameters the option available is only to use remote GDB on remote computer. 

in your documentation, you say Ensure you have the Debug Configuration selected from the Configuration Manager Window. If it's not OK what can we do?

Thanks for the report.

Do you see any output in the Output > Debug window in VS when this happens?

Can you attach an image of the error message so we can see the exact text shown?

Also please update to the very latest version of Visual Micro from our Downloads Page (below), as this will enable some additional logging to the build folder to help understand the root cause of the issue.
https://www.visualmicro.com/page/Arduino-Visual-Studio-Downloads.aspx

Once updated, if you re-attempt the Debug > Attach to process, there should be two additional files in the build folder, which will help us to understand more about the issue:
testHello.ino_DebugOpenOCD.log
testHello.ino_DebugGDB.log

I have 2 projects with the same problem, one is solved with the new version, the other not. The both projects are exactly identical. 

I cannot find the build directory in the project but I send you a screenshot with the error, log of microbuild and a zip of the full project.

Thanks for the detail around this.

Please install the latest version (23.0915.02) available from the top of the below board, this should resolve the issue:

When I select remote GDB by error, there is no way to go back to the previous status (I did not find it).

I created a new project named test0310, setting the board and debugger options. 
When I start the project, the J-Link is not found. 
However, when I copy the 'board.txt' file with the correct information from another project, the project test0310 is working fine.

I'm sending you all the outputs and screenshots for the new project, my first attempt, and the second attempt with the 'board.txt'.

Thanks for the update.

The latest version should correct the issue with the wrong debugger starting, even if it is accidentally changed in the Project Properties.  This will not be visible in the Project Properties UI (it will still show "Remote GDB Debugger").

The per-project board.txt information is currently required for this board to work as expected, as you have from your other project/documentation page:
https://www.visualmicro.com/page/ESP32S2S3-Debugging.aspx

We will update when we remove the need for the board.txt overrides in each project, and update the documentation accordingly.

I just tested your new version, Visual.Micro.Arduino.Studio_2023_0915_2202.vsix. 

However, I still can't launch the debugger. the difference is now I have on start label "demarrage" (start)

I'm sending you all the outputs and screenshots

If you try launching the debugger from Debug > Attach to Process, then after that fails, close the solution and open it again, the debugger should work as expected.

If for some reason this does not work, you can close the solution, and edit the helloworld.vcxproj.user file in notepad, and remove the <DebuggerFlavor>LinuxDebugger</DebuggerFlavor> elements, then save it and reopen the solution in VS.

I followed your recommendation: I tried launching the debugger from 'debug>attach to process,' but it failed. I exited VS2022, started the project again, and now it's working.
