Nativescript-cli: Android debugger does not work

[mannouman]

Hi,

When i launch the debugger (Android launch or Android attach on my device) in Visual Studio Code, the debugger seems to connect but quit immediately, see the trace below :

# NativeScript Debugger started #
[NSDebugAdapter] Ready to attach to application on 40000
[NSDebugAdapter] Connection to target application established on 40000
Error: Unknown signal: SIGQUIT

Any idea ?
Thanks

This worked after I did this.
"you could try to delete launch.json file from .vscode folder in your project and to generate it again while following the instructions here."

Thanks Halaharr, the debugger is well connected now.

But i don't understand it does not stop on my breakpoints...

if it helps, see my launch.json configuration (android part) :

{
            "name": "Launch on Android",
            "type": "nativescript",
            "request": "launch",
            "platform": "android",
            "appRoot": "${workspaceRoot}",
            "sourceMaps": true,
            "watch": true,
            "stopOnEntry": false
        },
        {
            "name": "Attach on Android",
            "type": "nativescript",
            "request": "attach",
            "platform": "android",
            "appRoot": "${workspaceRoot}",
            "sourceMaps": true,
            "watch": true
        }

I have seen that happen before. It takes some time sometime for the breakpoints to be enabled. Here is my launch.json settings
{
"name": "Launch on Android",
"type": "nativescript",
"request": "launch",
"platform": "android",
"appRoot": "${workspaceRoot}",
"sourceMaps": true,
"watch": true
},

@halaharr From v2.5 only inline source maps are supported on Android. If you are debugging TypeScript project, make sure the generated .js files have source maps inlined.

@halaharr i tried with the same conf as yours but same problem.

I will retry with another device but with this one (Oneplus 3) i can debug Android native in android studio so i don't think the problem comes from my device.

@ivanbuhov i am not using TypeScript

Thanks for your help guys ! any ather idea ?

Nativescript (vanilla javascript)
VSCode 191
nativescript extension 061

Same problem here, from VSCODE 191, variable section is foreever empty. Breakpoints works but after application is launched. Nativescript pre-launch events do not hit at all now. Watch section works well though. Tried all possible combination of launch.json (destroyed it, recreate vanilla, said a prayer...)

Just wondering if it's an extension bug or a vscode bug (which I think it is...)

any help is welcomed !
