Vscode debugger didn't skip node_internals. I don't know what i'm missing here. Below is my launch.json
{
// Use IntelliSense to learn about possible attributes.

I tried all the possible glob patterns but debugger didn't skip the specified paths.
node and npm version
v14.16.0 and 6.14.11
code version(linux)
1.55.0

x64
Any help is appreciated. :-)
Windows or Linux? I've found that the skip files syntax is dependent on the platform and the / (Linux) or \ (Windows) that each requires. Also I don't believe you need the root locations for the folders e.g. /<node_internals>/
I've had success by providing both forms as I move between Windows and Linux frequently:
"skipFiles": [
"${workspaceFolder}/node_modules/**/*.js",
"${workspaceFolder}\\node_modules\\**\\*.js",
"<node_internals>/**/*.js",
"<node_internals>\\**\\*.js",
]
I do hope there's a simpler answer out there but I have yet to find it.

Frustratingly there is an old issue that has been closed in relation to this. The linked issues seem to resolve this for python extensions, but I am using Typescript. No comments on it being resolved in general when it was closed so I assume that there must be a way to achieve this.
I wish to use VSCode debugging with individual test files, but also pipe the final output to a different program. VSCode escapes the pipe operator...
launch.json
{
"type": "node",
"request": "launch",
"name": "tap-single",
"skipFiles": [
"<node_internals>/**",
"${workspaceFolder}/node_modules/**"
],
"program": "${file}",
"runtimeExecutable": "/home/user/.npm-global/bin/ts-node",
"runtimeArgs": [
"--transpileOnly",
],
"args": [
"|", // This is output as `\|` in the console...
"tap-arc"
],
"console": "integratedTerminal",
}
Partial output is below;
... /home/user/.npm-global/bin/ts-node --transpileOnly ./test/example.test.ts \| tap-arc
Debugger attached.
I understand that by creating a launch.json file in VSCode (slightly more cumbersome than pycharm), I can set debug configurations to launch individual python files.
For example:
{
"version": "0.2.0",
"configurations": [
{
"name": "Python: Poker",
"type": "python",
"request": "launch",
"cwd": "C:/Users/dickr/git/poker",
"program": "C:/Users/dickr/git/Poker/poker/main.py",
"console": "integratedTerminal",
"env": {"PYTHONPATH": "${workspaceFolder}${pathSeparator}${env:PYTHONPATH}"}
},
]
}
That all works great, but how can I run it in normal mode, without a debugger? How can this be defined in the launch configuration so I can select this in the dropdown, and potentially pass arguments with it?
Write a task in a tasks.json file. For documentation on tasks, see https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/tasks#_custom-tasks.
Your might look something like this:
{
"version": "2.0.0",
"tasks": [
{
"label": "run python script",
"type": "process",
"command": "python3 C:/Users/dickr/git/Poker/poker/main.py",
"options": {
"cwd": "C:/Users/dickr/git/poker"
},
"presentation": {
"reveal": "always",
}
}
]
}
though I'd suggest that if possible, you use variable substitution to try to get rid of the absolute paths that won't be the same on other machines (assuming you want to be able to run the task on other machines).
Then run the task. You can even bind the task to keyboard shortcuts. See the documentation for more info: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/tasks.
I have gdbserver attached to a process and working fine on a remote machine, port 9999. On my local machine, from command line:
$ gdb
(gdb) target remote localhost:9999
works just fine. I am trying to configure Vs Code debugger so that I can have a GDB frontend for this case. Here is my launch JSON.
"version": "0.2.0",
"configurations": [
{
"name": "GDB",
"type": "cppdbg",
"request": "attach",
"miDebuggerServerAddress": "localhost:9999",
"program": "path-to-cross-compiled-binary-with-same-debug-symbols",
"linux": {
"MIMode": "gdb",
},
}
]
There are couple of issues here. First of all, why "program"? In this case, gdb doesn't need any program name to start. Program is already running on remote, gdbserver is already attached to it. I just want gdb client to connect to port 9999. But anyways, moving on.
It wants me to give a processId. This also does not make sense, I am already attached on remote. The fun part is:
If you leave out processId, Vs Code says "unable to parse the process id"
If you specify a processId, Vs Code says "processId cannot be used with miDebuggerServerAddress"
Of course, if I am using a debugger server address, server is already attached to PID and it makes sense that processId can't be used in this case. But if I leave it out, VS Code gives the 1. error. This is cyclic in a way.
Anyone is able to attach to a remote process in VS Code C++ debugger with gdbserver address, that is my question. What is wrong with my launch file?
You need to use the "launch" request instead of "attach". I also needed to add the default "cwd" option.
"request": "launch",
"cwd": "${workspaceFolder}",
You may also need to define "additionalSOLibSearchPath".
My launch config now looks like this:
{
// Use IntelliSense to learn about possible attributes.

I am unable to debug my program
Well, two years too late, but here we go.
From what I saw, you are using windows. I had the same problem and quickly resolved it. Apparently it's some system bug. To resolve, follow these steps:
(Tested on Windows 10)
Go to Windows Control Panel (You can do this by opening File Explorer and in the path type 'Control Panel' (without quotes) and hit Enter);
From the Control Panel, click on 'Clock and Region'.
Click Region. A new screen will open.
In the screen that opened, click on Administrative and search for the button "Change system location".
Check the option: "Beta: Use Unicode UTF-8 for world language support"
Restart the computer.
By doing this procedure, the problem will be solved.
I hope it has helped you and others who are experiencing this problem.
I'm trying to setup visual studio code for rust to do debugging. In my launch.json file I have
{
"version": "0.2.0",
"configurations": [
{
"name": "(Windows) Launch",
"type": "cppvsdbg",
"request": "launch",
"program": "${workspaceRoot}/target/debug/vscode-rust-debug-example.exe",
"args": [],
"stopAtEntry": false,
"cwd": "${workspaceRoot}",
"environment": [],
"externalConsole": true,
"preLaunchTask": "localcargobuildtask"
}
]
}
and in my tasks.json I have
{
// See https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=733558
// for the documentation about the tasks.json format
"version": "2.0.0",
"tasks": [
{
"label": "localcargobuildtask",
"command": "echo hi",
"group": {
"kind": "build",
"isDefault": true
}
}
]
}
Where "echo hi" is in my tasks I eventually want to have something like "cargo build" or "cargo test" or whatever. But this is just a starting step.
But when I press F5 the output I get is
> Executing task: C:\programs\VSCodeWorkspaces\RustProjects\vscode-rust-debug-example-debug-config-included\echo hi <
The terminal process terminated with exit code: 2
Terminal will be reused by tasks, press any key to close it.
Rather than running "echo" from where ever the terminal finds it (working directory first, then check global path variable like you would expect) it is actually looking for a program named "echo" in my root folder of the workspace.
How do I tell visual studio code "No I don't want you to run workspace/echo, I want you to run echo in workspace" ? Or is there another more direct way to tell visual studio code "compile this before you debug it" ?
The answer to this question How to debug Rust unit tests on Windows?
suggests that changing
"command": "cargo build",
into
"command": "cargo",
"args": [
"build"
],
in the tasks.json file works and somehow it does. Maybe the editor is configured to search the %path% for single word commands, or maybe some plugin I installed overwrote the "cargo" command. Maybe the reason echo wasn't found is because it is a terminal command, not a program. Maybe the error message was a lie and it was only reporting that it couldn't find workspacefolder\command despite checking %path%? Or maybe none of that. I have no idea. It is some pretty idiosyncratic behavior.
