[SOLVED] MS Studio Code doesnt take console input

Question

Hi there!

Got problems during debugging some C code.

Simple-Test.Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main (){

char text[100];

printf("Input: ");
gets(text);
printf("Output: %s",text);
getchar();
return 0;
}

If i run the executable - everything works fine, but if i want to debugg it in MS Visual Studio Code, nothing happens within the internal terminal. CodeRunner-Extension "run-in-terminal" is checked.

Dont know how to fix and debug ...

Answer 1

Already done that. I googled all the time.

But finally it works now ... i probably was a typo in one of the jsons.

Thx for help!

Make sure that your debugger is configured in launch.json

Ok good.
Then check this thread:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/57494832/how-to-read-input-when-debugging-in-c-in-visual-studio-code

"if you enable "externalConsole":true in the launch.json then you will get a pop up console window that you can type in."

Answer 4

Already done that.

it depends on the input. if i ask for input during the code, nothing happens. if i just print a normal "hello world" everything is fine ...
