The launch.json configuration in vscode does not support the use of the property args

I'm currently editing my launch.json file in vscode to make some basic configurations, but I keep encountering an error that says Property args is not allowed. Here is the configuration I have:

{
    "version": "0.2.0",
    "configurations": [
        {
            "type": "node",
            "request": "attach",
            "name": "index",         
            "args": [
                "src/index.ts"
            ],
            "cwd": "${workspaceFolder}"           
        }
    ],
    "compounds": []
}

Answer №1

It turned out to be a simple oversight on my part. After referring to this documentation, I realized my mistake.

The VS Code debuggers are designed to either launch a program in debug mode or attach to an already running program in debug mode. Depending on the chosen action (attach or launch), specific attributes are required, and the validation features of VS Code's launch.json provide assistance in configuring these parameters correctly.

Upon switching my request from attach to launch, everything fell into place. It became apparent that only the request type launch allows for the configuration of args.

{
    "version": "0.2.0",
    "configurations": [
        {
            "type": "node",
            "request": "launch",
            "name": "index",         
            "args": [
                "src/index.ts"
            ],
            "cwd": "${workspaceFolder}"           
        }
    ],
    "compounds": []
}

Answer №2

Trying to pass command line arguments to a remote [ssh] debug is causing an issue where I keep receiving the error "Property args is not allowed". However, when I switch the request to 'launch', the error then shifts to "Property connect is not allowed". :(
It appears that starting the debug does work and attach, but my arguments are not being included.
