# VS_DEBUGGER_WORKING_DIRECTORY

Added in version 3.8.

Sets the local debugger working directory for Visual Studio C++ targets. The property value may use `generator expressions`. This is defined in `<LocalDebuggerWorkingDirectory>` in the Visual Studio project file. This property is initialized by the value of the variable `CMAKE_VS_DEBUGGER_WORKING_DIRECTORY` if it is set when a target is created.

This property only works for Visual Studio Generators; it is ignored on other generators.
