Passing arguments to the C debugger in Visual Studio Code - c

Question

As the title says, I'm not able to pass arguments to the Visual Studio Code debugger.
I'm in MacOS, and I'm using gcc.
When I use the auto-generated launch.json and tasks.json everything's fine, but when I add the arguments everything crashes.
auto-generated launch.json
{

"version": "0.2.0",
"configurations": [
{
"name": "gcc - Compilar y depurar el archivo activo",
"type": "cppdbg",
"request": "launch",
"program": "${fileDirname}/${fileBasenameNoExtension}",
"args": [],
"stopAtEntry": false,
"cwd": "${workspaceFolder}",
"environment": [],
"externalConsole": false,
"MIMode": "lldb",
"preLaunchTask": "C/C++: gcc build active file"
}
]
}
auto-generated tasks.json
{
"tasks": [
{
"type": "cppbuild",
"label": "C/C++: gcc build active file",
"command": "/usr/bin/gcc",
"args": [
"-g",
"${file}",
"-o",
"${fileDirname}/${fileBasenameNoExtension}"
],
"options": {
"cwd": "${workspaceFolder}"
},
"problemMatcher": [
"$gcc"
],
"group": {
"kind": "build",
"isDefault": true
},
"detail": "Task generated by Debugger."
}
],
"version": "2.0.0"
}
When I first execute it, I can debug freely, but as I'm adding (to launch.json):
"args": [
"-c",
"1",
"file1"
],
everything's crashes with the message:
The preLaunchTask 'C/C++: gcc build active file' terminated with exit code -1.
and if I click Debug Anyway the message becomes:
launch: program '/Users/.../.vscode/launch' does not exist*
At that point I can't do anything else but click on Open launch.json
Could you help me?
Thanks
