TypeScript is great for writing client-side code as well as Node.js applications and you can debug client-side source code with the built-in Edge and Chrome debugger. We'll create a tiny web application to show client-side debugging in action.

VS Code comes with great debugging support for TypeScript, including support for sourcemaps. Set breakpoints, inspect objects, navigate the call stack, and execute code in the Debug Console. See Debugging TypeScript and the overall Debugging topic to learn more.

Debugging. VS Code has built-in support for TypeScript debugging. To support debugging TypeScript in combination with the executing JavaScript code, VS Code relies on source maps for the debugger to map between the original TypeScript source code and the

We can use this to transpile .ts files into .js files. Another benefit of using VS Code tasks is that you get integrated error and warning detection displayed in the Problems panel. Let's walk through transpiling a simple TypeScript Hello World program.

Debugging is a core feature of Visual Studio Code. In this tutorial, we will show you how to run and debug a program in VS Code. We'll take a tour of the Run and Debug view, explore some debugging features, and end by setting a breakpoint.

When you debug an extension test in VS Code, VS Code uses the globally installed instance of VS Code and will load all installed extensions. You can add --disable-extensions configuration to the launch.json or the launchArgs option of @vscode/test-electron 's runTests API.

VS Code's built-in debugging functionality makes it easy to debug extensions. Set a breakpoint by clicking the gutter next to a line, and VS Code will hit the breakpoint. You can hover over variables in the editor or use the Run and Debug view in the left to check a variable's value.

VS Code Node.js debugging has a feature to avoid source code that you don't want to step through (also known as 'Just My Code'). This feature can be enabled with the skipFiles attribute in your launch configuration.
