Posted on by DARRA 40

I was working with my extensions in VS Code, they where working fine, however when I tried to publish them again I got the ' The debugger options cannot be used for this server' error.

I already restarted VS COde, clear cache and nothing worked, I would very much appreciate if  any one could share me advices of how to overcome this issue.

    We are currently experience an issue with the last update of the AL language extension where the message is thrown – The debugger options cannot be used for this server.

    The development team is currently investigating into that issue. 

    The workaround is to use an older version of the AL language extension

    Thanks, Installing AL Language version 5.0.311667 fixed the issue for me.

    We uploaded an updated Visual Studio AL language extension, which should resolve the debugger issue.
