Can not get the debugger to work on one of my systems, it say "No debug PTF" even if they are installed

Hi,

We have two systems, both IBM i 7.5 systems with the same PTF level. On one of the systems I can get debug to work from vscode code for i, but not on the other with the debug service version 3 PTFs. Both of them were working with the debug service version 2 PTFs.

On one system, I do not get the debug options on the object browser.

I have followed the guide to set up the debug services: https://codefori.github.io/docs/developing/debug/configure/
PTFs are installed
I have restarted ADMIN1 server
Re-generated Debug Service trust store
Started debug services and debug server

All those things work, but for one system, when I open vscode/code for i and connect to the system and hover over the system name at the bottom, it say "No debug PTF"

We can create an own launchpad.json and start the debug that way, so it is clearly working, but why do code for i tell me I do not have the debug service PTF installed? I think it is

But the debug service PTFs are installed, yesterday I also tried with the latest debug service PTF 3.0.3 but with the same issue.

I have seen in a other discussion about the startDebugService.sh in directory /QIBM/ProdData/IBMiDebugService/bin and the file is there and are accessible with *PUBLIC = *RX

Any ideas?

Hi,
Have you tried the "Connect and reload settings" (right click on the connection)?
