Debugging Vue application in MS Edge: no extensions available - vue.js

Is there a way to enable Microsoft Edge extensions during debug sessions? This is a Vue 3 application and I'm using the following launch.json:
{
"name": "Frontend",
"type": "pwa-msedge",
"request": "launch",
"url": "https://localhost:8080/",
"webRoot": "${workspaceFolder}/src",
"breakOnLoad": false,
"sourceMaps": true,
"pathMapping": {
"/_karma_webpack_": "${workspaceFolder}"
},
"sourceMapPathOverrides": {
"webpack://vue4/./src/*": "${webRoot}/*",
"webpack://vue4/src/*": "${webRoot}/*",
},
},
For some reason, Microsoft Edge does not load any extensions when I press F5 in VSCode. Not only that, there is no extension shown in Edge Settings either. Looks like VScode instructs Edge to load with some no-extensions argument, but I can't figure out where and how to change that.
I'm primarily concerned about the Vue tab in DevTools. This tab (and all other extensions) loads automatically when I open Edge normally, but not when launched from VSCode.

How to debug react-native-web with Expo and vscode?

I am trying to find how react-native-web apps (specifically using Expo and vscode) can be debugged.
I found guidance neither in the web, nor in the react-native-web's own site.
The debug configuration that comes with the React Native Tools aims to run within the Expo application, but my intention is to use the browser to debug/test the react-native-web behaviour.
{
// Use IntelliSense to learn about possible attributes.
// Hover to view descriptions of existing attributes.
// For more information, visit: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=830387
"version": "0.2.0",
"configurations": [
{
"name": "Debug in Exponent",
"request": "launch",
"type": "reactnative",
"cwd": "${workspaceFolder}",
"platform": "exponent",
"expoHostType": "local"
}
]
}
I could have found the method. For all who are stuck the method is as follows.
Go to the debug pane.
If previously not chosen choose "Run and Debug"
Choose add configuration.
Choose Chrome: Launch (we would like to launch a chrome browser when we start debugging, you may have alternative browsers, or you may choose to have the attach approach also). (We will come back to here after step 5.)
It will add a configuration like:
{
"name": "Launch Chrome",
"request": "launch",
"type": "chrome",
"url": "http://localhost:8080", // This line should be modified at step 6
"webRoot": "${workspaceFolder}"
},
Open the vscode's terminal and run expo start --web and you should see your server and related port. (Below, in my case it is port 19006.)
Modify the configuration.
{
"name": "Launch Chrome 19006", // Modified as 19006
"request": "launch",
"type": "chrome",
"url": "http://localhost:19006", // Modified as 19006
"webRoot": "${workspaceFolder}"
},
Confirm that expo start --web is running then go to the debug pane and launch a browser by the debug start button, with "Launch Chrome 19006" value:
After these 6 steps you should be able to debug Expo applications that use react-native-web through the vscode.

Why is debugging VueJS so flaky in VSCode

I have been using VSCode for a few months and have not been able to find a way to consistently debug a simple VueJS app. The main issue I keep encountering is the Unbound breakpoint whereby the breakpoints I set are unreachable.
I have tried the many launch.json configs including the ones below with no success:
{
"name": "Launch Chrome",
"request": "launch",
"type": "pwa-chrome",
"url": "http://localhost:8080",
"webRoot": "${workspaceFolder}"
},
{
"name": "Attach hm",
"port": 9229,
"request": "attach",
"skipFiles": ["<node_internals>/**"],
"type": "pwa-node",
"address": "localhost:8080",
"localRoot": "${workspaceFolder}/src"
}
A few weeks ago I stumbled on the following config which magically solved my problem and I was happily debugging for days:
{
"type": "chrome",
"request": "launch",
"name": "Launch Chrome against localhost",
"url": "http://localhost:8080",
"webRoot": "${workspaceFolder}/src",
"breakOnLoad": true,
"sourceMaps": true
}
After taking a few days off coding, I came back to VSCode yesterday, there was the 1.47.2 update waiting. Did that, wrote a few lines of code, tried debugging like i was doing before and boom! the Unbound breakpoint problem from hell returned.
Check my commits, no changes to launch.json, no new install, updates whatsoever.
Why on Earth diid this thing stop working???
One thing to note is that I can perfectly debug in VSCode the server portion of my app (a node/express REST server) with no problem at all.
Very frustrating and I really do not want to go back to debugging using Chrome's DevTools.
Could anyone help?
thank you.
I experienced may times similar issues.
Have you found a solution?
My launch.json file is:
{
"version": "0.2.0",
"configurations": [
{
"type": "chrome",
"request": "launch",
"name": "vuejs: chrome",
"url": "http://localhost:3000",
"webRoot": "${workspaceFolder}/src",
"breakOnLoad": true,
"pathMapping": {
"/_karma_webpack_": "${workspaceFolder}"
},
"sourceMapPathOverrides": {
"webpack:/*": "${webRoot}/*",
"/./*": "${webRoot}/*",
"/src/*": "${webRoot}/*",
"/*": "*",
"/./~/*": "${webRoot}/node_modules/*"
}
}
]
}
Most of times it works but I still experience weird behaviors.
Also you should always start VS Code from within the folder containing the VUE project (outside /src).

How to setup vscode / chrome debugger with webpack when vue project in sub directory

I am coding a CLI project in vue using VS code and trying to get my debugger setup properly, but I can't seem to get the proper overrides setup for webpack. My workspace folder is Project and I have two sub folders api for my server code and client for my vue code. The following launch.json setting seem to stop my code in the correct place, but the little debugger dots jump up 3 lines when I start it up.
{
"version": "0.2.0",
"configurations": [
{
"type": "chrome",
"request": "launch",
"name": "vuejs: chrome",
"url": "http://localhost:8080",
"webRoot": "${workspaceFolder}/client/src",
"breakOnLoad": true,
"sourceMapPathOverrides": {
"webpack:///*": "${webRoot}/*",
"webpack:///./*": "${webRoot}/*",
"webpack://./src/*": "${webRoot}/*"
}
}
]
}
I am also using vue router if that makes a difference.

Can't debug expo project on vscode

I have an expo project, which we can run and build and it works correctly in android and iOS. What I want is to debug said project using my Visual Studio Code.
I followed some guides and tried the following:
Adding React Native Tools extension in vscode.
Adding the "Attach to packager" configuration in the vscode
debugger.
Changing the "react-native.packager.port" in settings.json to match
the expo packager port (19001)
Running expo (expo start)
And tried to start the debugger with "Debug JS remotely" both
enabled and disabled and also with the chrome debugger open or closed
The result I get is the small window with the debugger controls appears for a second and then dissapears, without any logs or evidence that it did something. I checked the terminal tab, the output tab and the debug console tab in vscode
By the way, when I enable "Debug JS remotely" the chrome debugger does launch and works perfectly.
My launch.json was autogenerated by the react native tools extension. I also tried adding "sourceMaps":true to the attach configuration and the end result was the same. Here is my code:
{
// Use IntelliSense to learn about possible attributes.
// Hover to view descriptions of existing attributes.
// For more information, visit: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=830387
"version": "0.2.0",
"configurations": [
{
"name": "Debug Android",
"cwd": "${workspaceFolder}",
"type": "reactnative",
"request": "launch",
"platform": "android"
},
{
"name": "Debug iOS",
"cwd": "${workspaceFolder}",
"type": "reactnative",
"request": "launch",
"platform": "ios"
},
{
"name": "Attach to packager",
"cwd": "${workspaceFolder}",
"type": "reactnative",
"request": "attach"
},
{
"name": "Debug in Exponent",
"cwd": "${workspaceFolder}",
"type": "reactnative",
"request": "launch",
"platform": "exponent"
}
]
}
Just in case you need it, the OS is Ubuntu 16.04
Thanks in advance!
Here is a .vscode/launch.json file with a single Attach to packager config.
Notice that the port property is set to 19001.
{
// Use IntelliSense to learn about possible attributes.
// Hover to view descriptions of existing attributes.
// For more information, visit: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=830387
"version": "0.2.0",
"configurations": [
{
"name": "Attach to packager",
"cwd": "${workspaceFolder}",
"type": "reactnative",
"request": "attach",
"port": "19001",
"sourceMaps": true
}
]
}
To debug your app, first start the expo packager, using the vscode console:
npm run start
Then start the "Attach to packager" debugger profile. In the Debug Console window, you should see that the debugger is now attached to the packager.
Finally go back to the console and launch your app on the desired target.
i.e: 'a' for android.
Instead of seeing a new react-native debug tab opening in your browser, you should now see that the debugger is connected in vscode.
Thanks Loupi & Bharat Lalwani your answers really helped me, and I want to post a more updated and detailed answer.
Install React Native Tools
Add Attach to packager config to .vscode/launch.json (Create the file if not exist)
// Use IntelliSense to learn about possible attributes.
// Hover to view descriptions of existing attributes.
// For more information, visit: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=830387
"version": "0.2.0",
"configurations": [
{
"name": "Attach to packager",
"cwd": "${workspaceFolder}",
"type": "reactnative",
"request": "attach",
"port": "19000", //Port number may be different in your machine
"sourceMaps": true
}
]
Edit vscode settings file to add "react-native-packger.port": 19000 //same port in the previous step
vscode settings files locations:
Windows %APPDATA%\Code\User\settings.json
macOS $HOME/Library/Application Support/Code/User/settings.json
Linux $HOME/.config/Code/User/settings.json
run expo start and find the correct port in the terminal (in my case it's 19000 update the port in steps 2&3 if yours is different, step the app and re-run expo start )
open the debug menu and click attach to packager
go back to terminal and press a to start the app in android emulator (make sure that the emulator is already running from AVD manager), if the emulator stuck on a white screen go to terminal press r to reload the app
if no breakpoints where hit, make sure that Debug remote JS is enabled in your emulator, while the app is running in the emulator press CTRL+M and select Debug remote JS
Note: to start a new debugging session, first make sure to stop expo server using CTRL+C in the terminal and disconnect the debugger in vs code as in the following screenshot, you may also need to close the running app in emulator first
Remember to close debugger-ui tab in the browser before attaching the debugger in vscode
I have done all changes as Loupi mentioned.
But for me worked for Port no. 19000.
I have to set both settings.json & launch.json port as "port" : "19000".

VS code debugging ASP.NET + Chrome

Is it possible to configure VS code to debug seamlessly solutions with server code in ASP.NET Core and JS files in Chrome.
Something available in full VS (unfortunately only in IE).
I can put breakpoints on both JS files and CS files.
Thanks for help!
Create one configuration for the ASP.NET Core application and another one for Chrome (you need the Debugger for Chrome extension). Then create a composite launch configuration.
When you start debugging using the composite configuration you will be able to debug the ASP.NET code as well as the Javascript/Typescript code in the same Visual Studio Code instance. You can also launch each configuration manually and it should work.
Your launch.json file should look something like this (with an ASP.NET Core application called myapp):
{
"version": "0.2.0",
"compounds": [
{
"name": "Browser/Server",
"configurations": [
"Server",
"Browser"
]
}
],
"configurations": [
{
"name": "Server",
"type": "coreclr",
"request": "launch",
"preLaunchTask": "build",
"program": "${workspaceRoot}/bin/Debug/netcoreapp1.1/myapp.dll",
"args": [],
"cwd": "${workspaceRoot}",
"env": {
"ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT": "Development"
},
"sourceFileMap": {
"/Views": "${workspaceRoot}/Views"
}
},
{
"name": "Browser",
"type": "chrome",
"request": "launch",
"url": "http://localhost:5000",
"webRoot": "${workspaceRoot}/wwwroot"
},
]
}
Simple way :
Close IE but debuging are Running
Choose Lunch Chrome (must config lunch.json URL same )
