Question

VSCode does not exit debug when closing application

I'm using v2.47.0 and BrighterScript 0.65.27. If I start my channel in debug, test some things, then click Home to return, the debugger does not exit. I have to manually close the debug session.

There's a launch setting called stopDebuggerOnAppExit. Try specifically setting it to true in your launch.json. Does the debug session close then?

Thanks. Adding that line worked. However, I'm not sure why it stopped working without that line. Is that setting new?

It's not a new setting, but we have some inconsistencies between the default set in the launch.json compared to in-code. I'm guessing one of them got switched at some point.
