[zxdb] Cleanup old debug sessions before debugging

Stop the current debug session, as well as all active zxdb/debug_agent
processes before starting new debug sessions.

This will give the newly spawned debugger a much better chance to attach
to its desired process.

Fuchsia VS Code Extension

The Fuchsia VS Code Extension streamlines Fuchsia development by integrating essential tools and workflows within the editor.

Visit the fuchsia.dev reference for a detailed walkthrough of this extension's features, Using the Fuchsia extension for VS Code.

Setup

Ensure you have a Fuchsia source checkout. You may need to configure the path to your ffx tool:

  1. Go to Settings > Extensions > Fuchsia
  2. Set the Fuchsia: Ffx Path to the absolute path of your ffx executable.

If not set, the extension will search for ffx in ./tools/ffx and ./.jiri_root/bin/ffx.

Features

All features are accessible via the VS Code command palette Ctrl+Shift+P or Cmd+Shift+P. Type “Fuchsia” to see a list of available commands.

  • Target interaction: Reboot, power off, or capture a snapshot of a connected device.
  • Emulator control: Start and stop the Fuchsia emulator (ffx emu).

Debug & test

  • ZXDB debugger: Attach the zxdb debugger to running processes or components.

Language support
