Configured debug type 'hl' not supported

Question

I have installed hash link on my linux machine (works on the terminal as expected) and upon pressing F5 from vscode for my heaps.io program, it says Configured debug type 'hl' not supported. So I tried searching for hashlink on the extensions market and found no results. I have copied my launch.json from the heaps.io tutorial website. What should I do?

Launch.json

{
    "version": "0.2.0",
    "configurations": [
        {
            "name": "HashLink",
            "request": "launch",
            "type": "hl",
            "cwd": "${workspaceFolder}",
            "preLaunchTask": {
                "type": "haxe",
                "args": "active configuration"
            }
        }
    ]
}

Where the launch.json file can be found

Ok I made it work! For some reason I had to copy all the required libraries from /usr/local/lib to /lib64 for vscode to launch my application through hashlink.

Also about the hashlink, I just installed the .vsix version of hashlink of version 1.1.12. The versions above that don't seem to work with the latest vscode version.
