You can change it to
{
"label": "dub build", // <-- add a good name here
"type": "dub",
"test": true,
"problemMatcher": [
"$dmd"
],
"group": "build"
}
but it will run the unittests then too (not just build them),
which will increase the task running time
It works!
Now, I would try these "natvis"

In my case, I just execute dub test from VSC terminal, use the
auto generated debugger configuration and just set the unittest
executable path.
This works fine on linux (WSL).
Kind regards

I have the impression that debugging D has get worse in this

like five years ago, and now I keep hitting all kind of

To build before running the debugger, add the following task to
your task definitions file (Ctrl-Shift-B):

"run": false,

And in the debug configuration add the preLaunchTask with the
given label:
{
"version": "0.2.0",
"configurations": [
{

"preLaunchTask": "dub build"

]
}
For more information consult the User Guide (F1 -> code-d User
Guide / Documentation) and see the Debugging section.
Directly debugging the unittests from code-d is not supported
yet, but is in planning.
About the debugging printing: pretty printers might make it look
worse than it would be with the plain GDB formatter. But
definitely this could be improved. If you use the Native Debug
extension it should default to the plain value printer, which in
turn might make other stuff not look so good. If you use the
C/C++ extension, you might be able to have better support if you
add a Natvis file. Void-995 wrote a D natvis file like 2 years
ago, which was never fully finished (DL:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/t5yejma3w7cbna9/dlang.natvis?dl=1 ;
mirror: https://wfr.moe/f6xBDC/dlang.natvis), so I'm not sure how
well that works now.
Btw if you use the latest serve-d version (release channel
"nightly") you will have snippets to insert debug printf
statements like
debug { import std.stdio : writeln; try { writeln(""); } catch
(Exception) {} }
debug { import std.stdio : writefln; try { writefln!""(); } catch
(Exception) {} }
debug { import core.stdc.stdio : printf; printf("\n"); }
which work in @nogc @safe nothrow pure
