Can not start debugger (VSC-265)

I have a problem to start debugger. OpenOCD is running, but the debugger stops almost immediatelly after the green arrow is pressed. Unfortunatelly no output is printed in either console. There is probably problem with the ${command:espIdf.getProjectName} variable. I have tried to find workaround and the following is working. Also there is needed to run xtensa-esp32-elf-gdb.exe under the windows.

launch.json

"miDebuggerPath": "xtensa-esp32-elf-gdb",
"program": "${workspaceFolder}/build/app-template.elf",
"windows": {
                "miDebuggerPath": "xtensa-esp32-elf-gdb.exe",
                "program": "${workspaceFolder}\\build\\app-template.elf",
 },

The new version 0.2.0 has a few issues with debugging. Clicking “Launch” does not start OpenOCD, even with “mode” set to “auto”, or not set at all. That line in launch.json also gives an error that “auto” must be an enum. https://github.com/espressif/vscode-esp-idf-extension/blob/8c4e10d9e1c4182265dc9c050c0d1bf617745427/package.json#L425 file has “mode” set to “enum”, I think it should be “string”. (Changing it to string, it still does not work, but no error.)

I can get it to work if I click the task “OpenOCD: Start OpenOCD”, then click “Launch”, but only if “mode” is not set at all. With the “mode” option set to either option, esp_debug_adapter does not start unless I also start “apapter” manually. I get a toast message the says “OpenOCD Exit with non-zero error code 1”.

I’ll attach my log file.
