Preventing duplicate debug configurations being created. [message #1797208]

I have a number of projects which compile and run without any issue. However I am unable to run the debugger on one of them because when I start the debugger, Eclipse creates a duplicate configuration with the wrong path to the executable. There is no error message but nothing happens (that I can see). I can debug the app using gdb without any problem.

The duplicate configuration is showing up in .metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.debug.core\.launches

The original is: test_misc.exe.launch
The duplicate is: test_misc.exe (1).launch

Original:

You can see a list of all launch configurations in your workspace in the Debug Configurations dialog. This is accessible from the Run->Debug Configurations... menu entry. Based on you post, you should see test_misc.exe and test_misc.exe (1) listed under C/C++ Application. You should be able to select test_misc.exe and click the Debug button to launch the original launch config.

I believe that this should also associate test_misc.exe as the most recent launch associated with the project and move it to the top of the list in the Debug toolbar icon list.

You can also use the Debug Configurations dialog to remove the duplicate that was created.

Yes I can see the duplicate in Run->Debug Configurations and I can delete it. The problem is it just re-appears when I try to debug the app. Same thing if I select the original config. It just gets ignored.
