message(DEBUG "...") doesn't display in VSCode output?

Brief Issue Summary

While working on my projects I added some message(DEBUG "...") statements. I also set "cmake.loggingLevel": "debug".

Expected:

What I expected to see was the message statements from DEBUG and above.

Apparent Behavior:

What I do see is that there is some extra info the the VSCode Output [driver] messages etc. But none of the message(DEBUG "...") statements.

If I use message(STATUS "...") then I do see the messages.

Have I misinterpreted the cmake.loggingLevel settings? Is that not controlling the log level of CMake when it runs?

Ah! After updating to CMake 3.16 the above worked as expected. Must be 3.15 being bugged.

That’s great! I’ll close the issue.
