I (somehow) managed to get PIO debugging to work on a simple program, I can set breakpoints, step etc, and even hover over a variable to see its current value - but - I can’t find a way to have the debugger populate the variables window (and show the values). I do get an error during PIO initialising remote target (part of debug console output showing error)

Is the missing file the reason why the variables are not shown?
If yes, where should it be and how should it be included??
Also, I get an ‘task error’ as follows:
Error: The PlatformIO task detection didn’t contribute a task for the following configuration:
{
“type”: “PlatformIO”,
“task”: “Build (nanoatmega328)”,
“problemMatcher”: [
“$platformio”
],
“group”: “build”,
“label”: “PlatformIO: Build (nanoatmega328)”
}
The task will be ignored.

Is this a problem? how do I fix or make it go away?
I Hope you can assist (an extremely inexperienced person with the modern tools - I last did embedded programming a little over 30 years ago!!)
