debugjava script is not executable and uses CRLF line endings on Linux #1662
Description
Expected behavior
debugjava should be executable in Linux environments without any manual modification.
Actual behavior
The bundled debugjava script:
- is not marked as executable
- uses CRLF line endings
As a result:
debugjavafails withPermission denied.- Even after manually adding the executable bit (
chmod +x), the script still fails because of CRLF line endings.
My environment
- DevContainer:
mcr.microsoft.com/devcontainers/base:bookworm - Version of Debugger for java:
0.59.0
Steps to reproduce
$ code --list-extensions --show-versions | grep vscjava.vscode-java-debug
vscjava.vscode-java-debug@0.59.0
$ debugjava
bash: /home/vscode/.vscode-remote/extensions/vscjava.vscode-java-debug-0.59.0/bundled/scripts/noConfigScripts/debugjava: Permission denied
$ ls -l $(command -v debugjava)

/home/vscode/.vscode-remote/extensions/vscjava.vscode-java-debug-0.59.0/bundled/scripts/noConfigScripts/debugjava: Bourne-Again shell script, ASCII text executable, with CRLF line terminators
Proposed fix
- Package
debugjavawith the executable bit set. - Package the script with LF line endings instead of CRLF.

Hi MATSUSHITA Youzou (@matsushitayou), I'm an AI Support assistant here to help with your issue. While the team reviews your request, I wanted to provide some possible tips and documentation that might help you in the meantime.
Workaround
• Install
dos2unixin your container:apt update && apt install -y dos2unix• Convert line endings to LF and set the executable bit on the bundled script:
• To automate this in a DevContainer, add to your
.devcontainer/devcontainer.json:Feature Request
• The extension should ship
debugjavawith LF line endings and have the executable bit set by default.The team will respond to your issue shortly. I hope these suggestions are helpful in the meantime.
