Debugger silently fails to launch

[dieki-n]

When I click on debug or press F5, it builds the executable but then doesn’t launch the executable or the debugger. It just terminates after “success”.

I am using the windows_x86 environment. The executable is successfully built and I can run it from the command line. “pio debug --interface=gdb --” also works from the command line and launches GDB. I just can’t debug in the UI.

Build output: https://pastebin.com/5gmbCC9i
PlatformIO.ini: https://pastebin.com/1fr7dyhT

I asked about this in the forum (https://community.platformio.org/t/debugger-fails-silently-on-windows-environment/35470) and was advised to open a bug.
