VS Code + AutoCAD Lisp Extension Issues (Need constant re-starts)

[DavidP]

I have this Issue with in VSCode where I'm forced to constantly restart both applications in order to continue debugging.

 

My Setup: AutoCAD Map3d 2021

VS Code 1.27.0 + Autocad AutoLISP Extension 1.6.3

VSCode Extitions Setup: Process name = acad

AutoCAD com…start switchs: C:\Program Files\Autodesk\AutoCAD 2021\acad.exe

Absolute path: C:\Program Files\Autodesk\AutoCAD 2021\acad.exe

 

 

I start Autocad First, then run vlide from the command prompt to load the the VScode application.

 

Then typical open a lisp project containing multiple lisp files.

 

Then to start debugging by Pressing “F5”.

Some times this works fine but more often than not I need to restart both app multiple times..

This happens mostly after I run into a code error… like typo or syntax error or trying to load a file autocad cant find.  The only way to be able to continue debugging my project is to completely restart both vscode and autocad(once or a few times).  

I seen this with my previous setup as well (different hardware, os and applications versions).

 

Any idea or suggestion why this could be happening?
