Disable node.js debugger attached

Question

As can be seen in the image, I always get node.js debugger attached in vscode when run npm run dev is there a way to disable that?

I attached the content of package.json

}

and there is a debug option in package.json

Answer 1

Can you see "Powershell" & "javascript Debug Terminal" on the right side of the teminal. just click on powershell, then run your code :)

you are running code within the debugger.

You can even delete and re add the debugger from this right side as well :)

My terminal example :)

Answer 2

The way I do this is by Press ctrl+shit+p a Dialog will open. Search Toggle Auto Attach and select Disabled.

When you want to debug select Always.

Answer 3

By mistake I pressed "Run and Debug" in VSC and when I went to the Terminal, it showed the commands you mention, after a while of searching the internet, I just closed the Terminal and when I ran it the next day in a new Terminal, it didn't run , later I read on the internet that when you press it once, VSC assumes that you will be doing debugging and that's why it always runs it. Where I unintentionally pressed.

i killed the terminal

Answer 4

Visual Studio Code is the one attaching the debugger. In settings.json (ctrl+,), search for the following settings and add them to your own user settings.

To disable attachment in vscode's terminal:

// Configures which processes to automatically attach and debug when
// `debug.node.autoAttach` is on. A Node process launched with the `--inspect`
// flag will always be attached to, regardless of this setting.
//  - always: Auto attach to every Node.js process launched in the terminal.
//  - smart: Auto attach when running scripts that aren't in a node_modules folder.
//  - onlyWithFlag: Only auto attach when the `--inspect` is given.
//  - disabled: Auto attach is disabled and not shown in status bar.
"debug.javascript.autoAttachFilter": "disabled",

To hide code lens in your package.json:

// Where a "Run" and "Debug" code lens should be shown in your npm scripts.
// It may be on "all", scripts, on "top" of the script section, or "never".
"debug.javascript.codelens.npmScripts": "never",

You may need to kill the terminal and/or restart vscode after saving your settings.
