### Visual Studio Code
|
|
|
|
All development of the launcher should be done using [Visual Studio Code][vscode].
|
|
|
|
Paste the following into `.vscode/launch.json`
|
|
|
|
```JSON
|
|
{
|
|
"version": "0.2.0",
|
|
"configurations": [
|
|
{
|
|
"name": "Debug Main Process",
|
|
"type": "node",
|
|
"request": "launch",
|
|
"cwd": "${workspaceRoot}",
|
|
"runtimeExecutable": "${workspaceRoot}/node_modules/.bin/electron",
|
|
"windows": {
|
|
"runtimeExecutable": "${workspaceRoot}/node_modules/.bin/electron.cmd"
|
|
},
|
|
"args": ["."],
|
|
"console": "integratedTerminal",
|
|
"protocol": "inspector"
|
|
},
|
|
{
|
|
"name": "Debug Renderer Process",
|
|
"type": "chrome",
|
|
"request": "launch",
|
|
"runtimeExecutable": "${workspaceRoot}/node_modules/.bin/electron",
|
|
"windows": {
|
|
"runtimeExecutable": "${workspaceRoot}/node_modules/.bin/electron.cmd"
|
|
},
|
|
"runtimeArgs": [
|
|
"${workspaceRoot}/.",
|
|
"--remote-debugging-port=9222"
|
|
],
|
|
"webRoot": "${workspaceRoot}"
|
|
}
|
|
]
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This adds two debug configurations.
|
|
|
|
#### Debug Main Process
|
|
|
|
This allows you to debug Electron's [main process][mainprocess]. You can debug scripts in the [renderer process][rendererprocess] by opening the DevTools Window.
|
|
|
|
#### Debug Renderer Process
|
|
|
|
This allows you to debug Electron's [renderer process][rendererprocess]. This requires you to install the [Debugger for Chrome][chromedebugger] extension.
|
|
|
|
Note that you **cannot** open the DevTools window while using this debug configuration. Chromium only allows one debugger, opening another will crash the program.
