Hi @amadeu01 thanks for reaching us. Do you use nvm?

hi @ruslan-bikkinin
I use asdf for managing node versions. Is it any issue?

Same problem here when I click on green arrow after successfully adding Configuration in launch.json.
debugger appeared for few seconds then disappeared.

[amadeu01]

any update on this?

@amadeu01 sorry for the delay.

Are you sure that output of the Developer Tools console (Help -> Toggle Developer Tools -> Select Console tab) is empty in your case after clicking at play button?

Also, did you try to fallback to the previous version of the extension by following the instructions from this comment: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-react-native/issues/1012#issuecomment-511741934?

[uday5162]

Yes fallback to previous versions is working for me
Thanks :+1:

@ruslan-bikkinin sorry my delay to answer.
I tried to kill chromes instance after select Remotely debug at RN's app. Then, I attached the debug again with VSCode, it worked so far :D

Thanks 👍

Alright, glad that your problem is resolved, may I close this then?

Alright, glad that your problem is resolved, may I close this then?

Is there any indication on when this will be fixed in a future release, not requiring a rollback of the extension? I have not had success using the current or previous versions of this extension for debugging via VSCode with RN60+.

[amadeu01]

Alright, glad that your problem is resolved, may I close this then?

For my personal environment, I'm not facing the issue. So, you can close.

[ruslan-bikkinin]

@draperj please create separated issue for your case.

@amadeu01 thank for letting me know, I am closing this.
