customDescriptionGenerator

Customize the textual description the debugger shows for objects (local variables, etc...). Samples:
1. this.toString() // will call toString to print all objects
2. this.customDescription ? this.customDescription() : defaultValue // Use customDescription method if available, if not return defaultValue
3. function (def) { return this.customDescription ? this.customDescription() : def } // Use customDescription method if available, if not return defaultValue

Customize the properties shown for an object in the debugger (local variables, etc...). Samples:
1. { ...this, extraProperty: '12345' } // Add an extraProperty 12345 to all objects
2. this.customProperties ? this.customProperties() : this // Use customProperties method if available, if not use the properties in this (the default properties)
3. function () { return this.customProperties ? this.customProperties() : this } // Use customDescription method if available, if not return the default properties

Deprecated: This is a temporary implementation of this feature until we have time to implement it in the way described here: microsoft/vscode#102181

Default value:
undefined

cwd

Absolute path to the working directory of the program being debugged. If you've set localRoot then cwd will match that value otherwise it falls back to your workspaceFolder

Default value:
localRoot || ${workspaceFolder}

enableContentValidation

Toggles whether we verify the contents of files on disk match the ones loaded in the runtime. This is useful in a variety of scenarios and required in some, but can cause issues if you have server-side transformation of scripts, for example.

Default value:
true

enableDWARF

Toggles whether the debugger will try to read DWARF debug symbols from WebAssembly, which can be resource intensive. Requires the ms-vscode.wasm-dwarf-debugging extension to function.

  "!**/node_modules/**"
]

outputCapture

From where to capture output messages: the default debug API if set to console, or stdout/stderr streams if set to std.

Default value:
9229

processId

ID of process to attach to.

Default value:
[
  "**",
  "!**/node_modules/**"

Default value:
false

Show the async calls that led to the current call stack.

Default value:

attachSimplePort

If set, attaches to the process via the given port. This is generally no longer necessary for Node.js programs and loses the ability to debug child processes, but can be useful in more esoteric scenarios such as with Deno and Docker launches.

If true, will start profiling soon as the process launches

Default value:
false
