Vscode-js-debug: Bug 708 again in VS Code Insiders

[byroniac]

Describe the bug
708
This is Bug #708 returning, apparently. I had never seen this bug before and it is marked as resolved, but it is occurring in VS Code Insiders. I do not have Node.js installed, and no idea why this is suddenly occurring on my home and work PCs. A possible workaround for me is to go into the @builtin extensions and disable the JavaScript debugger to suppress the error on program launch.

Version: 1.50.0-insider (user setup)

Bug 708

Thanks for the issue, this duplicates https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/106983 and will be fixed in the next Insiders build.

Until that happens in a few hours, you could ignore this error or manually set debug.javascript.autoAttachFilter to disabled to avoid this behavior.

Thanks so much. I did look, but I guess I did not spend enough time looking before I posted.

no worries!

Just received a new build of Insiders, and this is still not fixed. Will it be fixed soon?

Can you confirm what commit your VS Code is running and whether you have any debug.javascript.autoAttachFilter in your settings?

Never mind, fixed it. On my home PC the installer hung and I had to retry, and then the message went away. On my work PC, the message didn't go away but somehow I had debug.javascript.autoAttachFilter set to onlyWithFlag. But I got some strange error that it could not write to settings. So I nuked my .vscode, .vscode-insiders, and the Roaming app data folders, and started over fresh on everything, and everything is working great now. I didn't have very many settings set so it will be quick to reset them, and I think something weird was (is?) going on with my work machine.
