Description Frank Benoit CLA 2016-07-13 07:54:42 EDT 
I try to launch debugging with a variable for the .exe:
${config_name:org.chabu.utest}/org.chabu.utest.exe

So that it the launch dialog with choose either the Debug/org.chabu.utest.exe or Release/org.chabu.utest.exe, depending on what is my current build configuration.

For normal launch this works for Debug and Release.

Now, when launching the Debug with the debugger, then i get a "Problem Occurred" dialog with this message:

  Error in final launch sequence
  Failed to execute MI command:
    -file-exec-and-symbols ${config_name:org.chabu.utest}/org.chabu.utest.exe
  Error message from debugger back end:
  ${config_name:org.chabu.utest}/org.chabu.utest.exe: No such file or directory.
  ${config_name:org.chabu.utest}/org.chabu.utest.exe: No such file or directory.

I think we need to call 
  VariablesPlugin.getDefault().getStringVariableManager().performStringSubstitution()

in DebugNewProcessSequence#stepSetExecutable()
