RTOS View Always Says "No active/compatible debug sessions running."

[desmondcorreia]

I have a GDB server running externally.

I use webfreak.debug plugin for which I have configured it to connect to running GDB server. This works well as I can step through the code and add breakpoints without having to use the CLI. Even though this works well in VSCode the XRTOS view always says No active/compatible debug sessions running.

Now I can't launch GDB server via vscode becasue our build and launching scripts do special setup which allows us to access and flash our board via SWD. So I have to launch GDB via our scripts and not vscode as you can't program the boards any other way.

I've tried writing a config for cortex-debug plugin to try to connect to the running GDB server but can't get it to work however webfreak.debug works well and I can connect to GDB server easly.

I would love to know how to get RTOS view plugin to notice the active debug session that webfreak.debug is running in vscode.

@desmondcorreia Where you able to test the pre-release? I think new setting rtos-views.trackDebuggers needs to be adapted to test it.
