C/C++ VS Code - Unable to start debugging. There was an error starting the pipe program

I am learning the Visual Studio Code C/C++ Debugging Tool and I was following the tutorial here and when I go to start the deubbing. I am given this error.

I am running WSL/Bash on Ubuntu and I installed gcc/g++ and gdb on the WSL.

This is my code in launch.json. Lots of help appreciated.
