Why after update VSCode giving this error? Could not read source map for ... (Node.js)

Question

My program was working before updating Visual Studio Code. After updating, Why am I get this error?

Could not read source map for file:///c:/Users/s.aytan/Desktop/node/new/Dashboard2/node_modules/fecha/lib/fecha.umd.js: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open 'c:\Users\s.aytan\Desktop\node\new\Dashboard2\node_modules\fecha\lib\fecha.umd.js.map'

Try to add this property to the .vscode\launch.json file:

"resolveSourceMapLocations": [
    "${workspaceFolder}/**",
    "!**/node_modules/**"
]

According to this issue, this should be configured as default in the next versions.

This is working but this time, Problem has " Property resolveSourceMapLocations is not allowed." – safa aytan Jul 13 '20 at 14:47
Are you getting this as warning in the editor? Apparently they did not add this field to the scheme, it is not terrible. – baruchiro Jul 14 '20 at 03:26
How do i add this to the scheme? – Old Geezer Jul 18 '20 at 04:06
It will be in the next build, see this comment: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/102042#issuecomment-656863279 – baruchiro Jul 19 '20 at 05:31

still getting it, version 1.49.0 – Jeb50 Sep 13 '20 at 21:21
Just happened to me, version 1.49.0. "resolveSourcemapLocations" didn't address it, downgraded to v1.48.2 and it resolved problem. – SafeFastExpressive Sep 13 '20 at 21:57

I needed to change "type" from "node" to "pwd-node" for this to work. – Kit Johnson Nov 09 '20 at 05:26

@KitJohnson I believe that type is supposed to be `pwa-node`. When I set that as the type, adding `resolveSourceMapLocations` automatically populated the list with the values listed by @baruchiro – Jonathan E. Landrum Dec 16 '20 at 07:14

Added, still the same. – Jeb50 Jul 05 '21 at 23:13

you need to switch the launch type in .vscode\launch.json configuration from:

"type": "node",

to

"type": "pwa-node",

Try installing an older version of VSCode, that solve this same issue here.

This comment should not be downvoted. The updates to VS code seem poor at times and all too often the best solution is to not install newer versions. VS code needs to do a better job testing. – Sigma VX Jan 04 '21 at 18:52
