error - "Unable to start debugging. Specified argument was out of the range of valid values. Parameter name: ExePath"

Question

I am using visual studio 2022, trying to debug a CMake project on a remote linux computer via rsync. The setup worked, I left for the weekend, now it's not working. Intellisense is also not updating at all. It just sits there without ever updating the CMake cache.

Example of the error I get when trying to build and debug an executable.

Example of intellisense not updating when configuring CMake cache.

Hi @nat ,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!

Does it happen if you close VS and reopen it?

Please close all running VS instances and update your VS 2022 to the latest version through Visual Studio Installer.

Then, delete the hidden .vs, bin and obj folders in the project folder and build again.

Sincerely,
Anna
