扩展打开新的 windows 时如何继续调试 VSCode 扩展？

Question

I press F5 to debug a VSCode extension and VSCode will open a new window that will contain the extension. The extension will open a new VSCode window to open a specific project. But this new VSCode window didn't contain the extension and I can't debug it anymore. What can I do?

Answer 1

Not sure if you are looking for a specific extension. If you have already installed the debugger extension, Try to uninstall/reinstall.

Answer 2

Your automatically generated extension launch configuration should look like this:

{
    "version": "0.2.0",
    "configurations": [
        {
            "name": "Run Extension",
            "type": "extensionHost",
            "request": "launch",
            "runtimeExecutable": "${execPath}",
            "args": [

                "${workspaceFolder}/../OneDrive/Test Bed",     // add the path here 

                "--extensionDevelopmentPath=${workspaceFolder}"
            ]
        },
        {
            "name": "Extension Tests",
            "type": "extensionHost",
            "request": "launch",
            "runtimeExecutable": "${execPath}",
            "args": [
                "--extensionDevelopmentPath=${workspaceFolder}",
                "--extensionTestsPath=${workspaceFolder}/test/suite/index"
            ]
        }
    ]
}

You see in the Run Extension configuration that I added a path from the extension's ${workspaceFolder} up one level and then into my OneDrive folder to another folder named Test Bed . That Test Bed folder will be opened in the first ExtensionHost window that is opened when you F5 and you can debug the extension using that folder immediately.
