Set up debugger for Javascript/Typescript

[MAST1999]

I was trying to set up the debugger for Javascript/Typescript and found this pull #574 and the example using the vscode debugger. Still, when I wanted to do it I found that the files in the debugger of vscode had changed drastically and I couldn't figure out how to set it up correctly.

Can you give me some help setting it up and maybe add it to the debugger wiki?

I looked around for the nodeDebug.js file used in the pull request but didn't find it.

Is it in a different extension than here?

I also checked using all the files inside the new vscode-js-debug extension to see if any of them worked, but none worked.

adapter  ui                                     bootloader.bundle.js              diagnosticTool.bundle.js  hash.bundle.js       watchdog.bundle.js
dap      25b0f220a897d7433728f6f34169bdbf.node  bootloader.bundle.js.LICENSE.txt  extension.js              mappings.wasm        watchdog.bundle.js.LICENSE.txt
targets  binder.nls.metadata.json               chromehash_bg.wasm                extension.js.LICENSE.txt  terminateProcess.sh

There was no JavaScript file inside the other folders (there were only JSON files in them).

currently unsupported unless you make a wrapper

OK then, I guess I'll keep an eye out for that issue.

Thanks!

Hey @MAST1999 looks like there's now some support for this?
microsoft/vscode-js-debug#926 (comment)

I don't know what it would take to make this work but it could be worth re-opening this issue now it looks possible

Would love to see some update on this. I really like using Helix and getting a TS debugger working would be another step toward removing vscode for me.

Theres now a PR for this here
