Debug output

No debug output. My launch.json is as follows:

{
    // Use IntelliSense to learn about possible attributes.
    // Hover to view descriptions of existing attributes.
    // For more information, visit: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=830387
    "version": "0.2.0",
    "configurations": [
        {
            "type": "bashdb",
            "request": "launch",
            "name": "Bash-Debug",
            "cwd": "${workspaceFolder}",
            "program": "${file}",
            "args": [],
            "showDebugOutput": true,
            "trace": true
        }
    ]
}

Details

Debugging the following program opens no Debug Console terminal and renders no output in any terminal, as in the example gif. There is output in the Debug Console, but entering a number there for the program to read does nothing.

#!/bin/bash

echo "Enter a number."
read -r number

I've tried setting the attribute console to the different settings as listed on the vscode Debug page, to no avail.

Expected behaviour: The Debug Console terminal appears as in the example gif, and output and input from the debugged program appears there.

I have same questions and looking forward to the answer.

Add "terminalKind": "integrated" to your ".vscode/launch.json"...

{
    "version": "0.2.0",
    "configurations": [
        {
            "name": "Bash: my_script",
            "type": "bashdb",
            "request": "launch",
            "cwd": "${workspaceFolder}",
            "program": "${workspaceFolder}/my_script.bash",
            "args": [],
            "terminalKind": "integrated" // The "integrated" configuration is mandatory for debugging with stdin!
        }
    ]
}

Now, you can use read -r number! 😎
