Debugging the Main Process in VSCode
1. Open an Electron project in VSCode.
$ git clone git@github.com:electron/electron-quick-start.git
$ code electron-quick-start
2. Add a file .vscode/launch.json
with the following configuration:
{
"version": "0.2.0",
"configurations": [
{
"name": "Debug Main Process",
"type": "node",
"request": "launch",
"cwd": "${workspaceFolder}",
"runtimeExecutable": "${workspaceFolder}/node_modules/.bin/electron",
"windows": {
"runtimeExecutable": "${workspaceFolder}/node_modules/.bin/electron.cmd"
},
"args" : ["."],
"outputCapture": "std"
}
]
}
3. Debugging
Set some breakpoints in main.js
, and start debugging in the Debug View. You should be able to hit the breakpoints.
Here is a pre-configured project that you can download and directly debug in VSCode: https://github.com/octref/vscode-electron-debug/tree/master/electron-quick-start
