VSCode's new "preview" debug extension doesn't use
--inspect
(or--inspect-brk
) to launch the debugger, so this adds a new heuristic to detecting whether the compiler was launched from the debugger.The preview debugger launches the program with something like the following script (this example uses the powershell console):
The new heuristic checks for the presence of the
NODE_INSPECTOR_IPC
environment variable in addition to checking for--inspect
or--debug
.
