How to resolve the issue of not being able to enter debugging mode in vscode?
If VSCode is unable to enter debugging mode, you can troubleshoot and resolve the issue by trying the following methods:
- Check the debug configuration: Make sure the settings in your debug configuration file (usually .vscode/launch.json) are correct, especially the program (specifying the entry file to debug) and configuration (debugger settings).
- Check breakpoints: Make sure you have set breakpoints in your code to pause program execution during debugging.
- Check task configuration: If you are using tasks to debug your program, make sure the settings in your task configuration file (usually .vscode/tasks.json) are correct.
- Check your browser extensions: Some extensions may interfere with the debugging feature. Try disabling some extensions and then attempt to enter debugging mode again.
- Check the debugger: Make sure your debugger is compatible with the type of project you are working on, for example, if you are developing a JavaScript/TypeScript project, use the Node.js debugger; if you are developing a Python project, use the Python debugger, and so on.
- Update VSCode and debugger: Make sure your VSCode and debugger plugins are the latest versions, you can try updating them to resolve some known issues.
- Rebooting VSCode: Sometimes, rebooting VSCode can resolve temporary issues.
- Check debug output: In the bottom output window of VSCode, select “Debug” output to view detailed information from the debugger, which can help troubleshoot issues.
If none of the above methods work, you can try seeking help in the official documentation or relevant community of VSCode, or consider using other debugging tools or IDEs for troubleshooting.
