Debugging in VS Code

[FitRobert]

Hi,

I'm trying to use the debugger in VS code at first it gave errors about the imports. Now I launch the debugger in experimental mode but it still doesn't work it gives the error: "Error: Cannot find package 'user-settings' imported from C:\usingwords\Using-words\app\index.js" I did various NPM installs but it still gives this error. Anyone got an idea?

Kind regards, Robert

I don't think that sort of debugging is possible. It would require the runtime environment to support the VS code debugging API (eg, to support code stepping, inspection, etc), but it doesn't.

@Gondwana So if i understand you correctly Fitbit OS must support the debugging also? Is there another debug possibility besides using the console.log()?

@FitRobertUnfortunately, you understand correctly. 😉

console.log() is pretty much it.

When you use VS Code debugging with a browser, the browser (or a plugin) has hooks for debug communications. Same when you debug, eg, php (xdebug).
