            Bug ID: 50269
           Summary: lldb cannot connect to debugserver using python API
           Product: lldb
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: Macintosh
                OS: MacOS X
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P
         Component: All Bugs
          Assignee: lldb-dev at lists.llvm.org

The following set of commands work fine and in the lldb cli, the same set of
commands fails with `error: the platform is not currently connected` when run
from python using the `debugger.GetCommandInterpreter().HandleCommand`


lldb CLI (works):

```
(lldb) platform select remote-macosx
(lldb) target create ~/Projects/vscode-lldb/build/debuggee/debuggee
(lldb) process connect connect://127.0.0.1:1234
(lldb) process launch 
Process 64302 launched:
'/Users/nisarg/Projects/vscode-lldb/build/debuggee/debuggee' (x86_64)
...
```

Python (error: the platform is not currently connected):
-------
>>> import sys; sys.path.append('/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/SharedFrameworks/LLDB.framework/Resources/Python3')
>>> from lldb import *
>>> debugger = SBDebugger.Create()
>>> inter = debugger.GetCommandInterpreter()
>>> res = SBCommandReturnObject()
>>> commands = ['platform select remote-macosx', >'target create /Users/nisarg/Projects/vscode-lldb/build/debuggee/debuggee', 'process connect connect://127.0.0.1:1234', 'process launch']
>>> for command in commands: inter.HandleCommand(command, res); print(command); print(res.Succeeded()); print(res.GetOutput(), "\n", res.GetError())
...

platform select remote-macosx

There is a running process, kill it and restart?: [Y/n] y

process launch
False

 error: the platform is not currently connected
-------


I'm starting the debugserver using the following command in both the case.
```
$ debugserver 127.0.0.1:1234
```

I'm using the lldb bundled with Xcode 12.4.

Expected behavior: the same set of commands should result in the same outcome
whether run in cli or via python api.

I tried directly using python apis to connect and launch the process, but
couldn't figure out that either. It was giving the same error as platform not
connected. Also after connecting, the process status becomes unloaded and not
connected.
