Run App fails with timeout

Same issue on Ubuntu 20.04.
plugin version 1.0.1 

Simulation on Eclipse still works for me.

Richard.ConnectIQ I tried another location closer to the filesystem root (/test/MyProj/bin/MyProj.prg), made sure the permissions were set properly, but still the file in /tmp/GARMIN/APPS/MEDIA is not updated/created

Richard.ConnectIQ as you can see, my project's bin folder has no spaces, but I still see this issue.

I did a good bit of troubleshooting today and yesterday, hopefully this will help with resolving it.

First and foremost:

• OS: Linux (Manjaro), kernel version 5.15
• Connect IQ SDK version 4.07
• Monkey C Plugin version 1.0.1
• Application type: Audio Content Provider
• VSCode version 1.63.2

Observed behaviour

Running the default launch configuration - i.e., choosing Run > Run Without Debugging without a custom .vscode/launch.json in my workspace - often fails. There seems to be two issues.

1. The app builds successfully at <workspace>/bin/<app-name>.prg, and the simulator opens if it is not already. But the app sometimes does not launch in the simulator, showing the following error message in the Debug Console: 
   
   

   Failed to launch the app: Timeout

   
   
   
2. Same as 1., except the run does succeed (i.e., above error doesn't appear, and the app launches in the simulator) - but code updates are not reflected on subsequent launches.
   For instance, if I change the label of a MenuItem from "Label A" to "Label B", and then relaunch the app (with Run > Run Without Debugging), the label will still say "Label A".

Others have observed that the PRG file launched by the simulator is located at something like /tmp/GARMIN/APPS/ (OS-dependent), or /tmp/GARMIN/APPS/MEDIA/ if the PRG file is for an Audio Content Provider. Let's say the file is called /tmp/GARMIN/APPS/MEDIA/MYPROJ.PRG. I've observed the below about this file, in relation to the two issues above.

1. In the case of issue 1 (the "Failed to launch the app: Timeout" error), this seems to be because the MYPROJ.PRG file does not exist. Only the PRG file in the workspace folder (e.g., ~/repos/MyProj/bin/) gets created.
   
   

   ❯ ls -l /tmp/GARMIN/APPS/MEDIA
   total 0
   ❯ ls -l ~/repos/MyProj/bin
   total 168
   -rw-r--r-- 1 murchu27 murchu27 101116 Jan  1 12:24 MyProj.prg
   -rw-r--r-- 1 murchu27 murchu27  65904 Jan  1 12:24 MyProj.prg.debug.xml

   
   
   If I copy ~/repos/MyProj/bin/MyProj.prg to /tmp/GARMIN/APPS/MEDIA/MYPROJ.PRG and Run > Run Without Debugging again, the app successfully launches in the simulator.
2. This brings us to issue 2 (code updates not being reflected). After copying ~/repos/MyProj/bin/MyProj.prg to /tmp/GARMIN/APPS/MEDIA/MYPROJ.PRG, the app will run in the simulator. But after making code changes and relaunching, the PRG file in the workspace folder (~/repos/MyProj/bin/) gets rebuilt, while the PRG file launched by the simulator (/tmp/GARMIN/APPS/MEDIA/MYPROJ.PRG) hasn't changed.
   
   

   ❯ ls -l /tmp/GARMIN/APPS/MEDIA
   total 100
   -rwxr-xr-- 1 murchu27 murchu27 101116 Jan  1 12:25 MYPROJ.PRG
   ❯ ls -l ~/repos/MyProj/bin
   total 168
   -rw-r--r-- 1 murchu27 murchu27 101116 Jan  1 12:31 MyProj.prg
   -rw-r--r-- 1 murchu27 murchu27  65904 Jan  1 12:31 MyProj.prg.debug.xml

   
   

Seems to me like there is something wrong with the step of the launch that is meant to copy the built app at ~/repos/MyProj/bin/MyProj.prg to the simulator's folder at /tmp/GARMIN/APPS/MEDIA/MYPROJ.PRG

Expected behaviour

The app that gets built in the workspace directory (~/repos/MyProj/bin/MyProj.prg) is consistently copied to the simulator's directory (/tmp/GARMIN/APPS/MEDIA/MYPROJ.PRG), so that the app always launches, and reflects the current code.

Hope this helps with the debugging

I did have one folder with a space in it, but removing that space did not fix the problem. I now have zero spaces in the entire file path, and the problem persists. Eclipse works fine, however.
