I have looked into a problem that I got recently when trying out node for the first time, when I put it in and pulled up the Debug Console when I tried to drop down a really long variable it said `No Debugger Available, can not send 'variables' so I tried looking it up and I got to This Question, after trying all three options

"console": "integratedTerminal" "console": "externalTerminal" and "console": "internalConsole" none of them seem to have fixed my problem

So what could I have done wrong

Javascript

const genData = require('./data.json');
console.log(genData.GenStructure);

data.json

{
    "GenStructure": [
        "<a> @scenario@ is going to @event@ because @reason@ is inevitable",
        "The best way to get to @place@ is to take a @transport@ from the @place@",
        "@character@'s favorite book @BookTitle@ is in the genre : @BookGenre@"
    ]
}

launch.json

{
    "version": "0.2.0",
    "configurations": [
        {
            "type": "pwa-node",
            "request": "launch",
            "name": "Launch Program",
            "skipFiles": ["<node_internals>/**"],
            "program": "${workspaceFolder}\\sentenceGen.js",
            "console": "integratedTerminal" //This was changed
        }
    ]
}

  • Have you tried running the script outside the vs code? I mean just open command line, write `node sentenceGen.js` and hit enter. Does it run?? The `No Debugger Available, can not send 'variables'` might be caused by an error in your app after it exited, so VS Code has no longer access to your app. See this issue https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/120471 – Molda Mar 03 '22 at 06:55
  • Ah well, I just tried it again in the external terminal and it worked so probably, would there be a fix to this issue, so then I can see it in vscode? – Zain Wilson - WCH Student Mar 03 '22 at 06:57
