Editing launch configurations

About this task

To edit a launch configuration that you have already created:

Procedure

  1. Open the Debug launch configurations dialog box. Instructions for doing this can be found in Starting to debug.
  2. In the Debug launch configurations dialog box, select the launch configuration that you would like to edit. You may need to expand the launch configuration type node to find the launch configuration.
  3. When you select the launch configuration, its settings appear on the right pane of the Debug launch configurations dialog box.
  4. Edit these settings as desired. Further information about these settings can be found in debugger help task files which describe creating launch configurations.
  5. If all information mandatory to the launch configuration has been provided, the Debug and Apply push buttons will be enabled. Clicking Apply will save the launch configuration, at which point you can choose to close the dialog box without launching the debug session or you can click Debug to launch a debug session using the new launch configuration. If you click Debug, any changes to the launch configuration will be saved and a debug session will be launched.
    Tip: If you have not yet saved launch configuration settings and if you have made entries in the launch configuration settings that you would like to remove or change, clicking Revert will remove all changes that you have made.
  6. If information mandatory to the launch configuration has not been provided or if there are errors in the information that you have provided, messages at the top of the dialog box will indicate what is missing.
  7. When you are finished working in the dialog box, click Close to exit it.
