Both VS for Mac and VS Code use the same underlying debugger. So that makes sense.

Okay, good. I should be able to repro this then. I will try to get the debugger fixed up for our next release. In the mean time, if you can swap the order of /usr/local/share and /usr/local/bin I think this will go away.
