A recent update (not sure which, I updated yesterday since cancelling updates since end last year) of Visual Studio Code changed behavior of PHP Debug from XDebug (or even with PHP Tools extension from DEVSENSE) now has this ‘auto-expand-data’ feature, where arrays and objects now shows their values inline of the array/object, which in the case of Magento 2 makes debugging extremely cumbersome now.
The new built-in javascript debug extension in VSCode does not hit breakpoints for node v8.* for me. Breakpoints stay unbound. Everything worked before and I want to use the old node debugging extension. I’ve seen people recommending to just set "debug.javascript.usePreview": "false", but VSC 1.60.0 says that it is an unknown configuration setting.
How do I change the string representation of an object instance in nodejs debug console. Is there a method (like toString() in .NET) I can override?
We have added a feature to avoid code that you don’t want to step through. This feature can be enabled with the skipFiles setting in your launch configuration. skipFiles is an array of glob patterns for script paths to skip.
