Vscode-react-native: [Bug] iOS debug settings replacing the target name by deviceId automatically

Created on 1 Oct 2020 · 3Comments · Source: microsoft/vscode-react-native

🐛 What is the bug? How can we reproduce it?

Since version 1.0.0 every time I run the app using the debug settings it's replacing the target device name by the device id.
It's problematic since in our project we commit these settings and the device id is unique for each developer/device.

Please put here any steps, code or any information that can help us
reproduce the error on our side so we can fix it:

Create a debug settings for iOS
Add a simulator target (e.g. "target":"iPhone 11")
Run the debug settings
Target will be replaced by the device id (a UUID).

Original settings format before run the debug:

{
  "name": "Debug iOS",
  "cwd": "${workspaceFolder}",
  "type": "reactnative",
  "request": "launch",
  "platform": "ios",
  "target": "iPhone 11",
  "sourceMaps": true
}

Current settings format after debug is executed:

{
  "name": "Debug iOS",
  "cwd": "${workspaceFolder}",
  "type": "reactnative",
  "request": "launch",
  "platform": "ios",
  "target": "6C5AD9B0-D9FD-450F-B668-3A358D529787",
  "sourceMaps": true
}

Expected behavior

What were you expecting to happen?

It's expected to the target does not change like in the versions prior 1.0.0.

I've had this bug today, here's what happen to me:

run the debugger, the app would be launched and the target in launch.json would be overwritten
stop the debugger
simulator still running
run the debugger again. debugger wont start with an error "error No iOS devices connected."
replacing the uuid with the device name would enable me to start debugging again.
