Error setting up debug mode with CMake in Visual Studio Code

Question

I'm currently using Visual Studio and CMake to run my .cpp codes. I have been able to compile my .cpp codes. My issue is that when I hit Ctrl + Fn + F5 to launch debug mode, I get the following error:

My launch.json is as follows:

Here are what I tried to do to fix the issue, and none of them worked:

I added "miDebuggerPath": "/Users/name/.vscode/extensions/ms-vscode.cpptools-0.20.1/debugAdapters/lldb/bin/lldb-mi" to my launch.json, but it seems that CMake ignores this and continued to look for lldb in usr/bin, as seen below:

I followed the instructions here: https://github.com/lldb-tools/lldb-mi. Specifically, I used brew install llvm and cmake build . to install LLVM. Then I used git clone and cmake build . to install lldb-mi.

I re-installed Visual Studio Code

None of my attempts had any success with launching my VSCode debugger through CMake. I would really appreciate some help.

Thanks!
