Can't debug with random ports after upgrading to vscode 1.19.0.

[yisiqi]

• VSCode Version: 1.19.0
• OS Version: macOS 10.13.2

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Add config to launch.json

{
      "name": "Debug Tests WebSocket",
      "type": "node",
      "request": "launch",
      "runtimeArgs": [
        "--inspect-brk",
        "${workspaceRoot}/node_modules/.bin/jest",
        "--runInBand",
        "src/websocket"
      ],
      "console": "integratedTerminal",
      "internalConsoleOptions": "neverOpen"
    }

2. Launch it.
3. After a few seconds, got the Error info: connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:13098

Reproduces without extensions: No

I just tried to set a specific port number. And it's works fine.

@yisiqi what version of node.js are you using?
I assume you are using node.js >= 8.0.

Your runtime arguments look wrong to me since all but the first are not really runtime arguments.
Try this:

{
      "name": "Debug Tests WebSocket",
      "type": "node",
      "request": "launch",
      "program": "${workspaceRoot}/node_modules/.bin/jest",
      "args": [
        "--runInBand",
        "src/websocket"
      ],
      "console": "integratedTerminal",
      "internalConsoleOptions": "neverOpen"
    }

If you are using a node.js version < 8.0 but still want to use the "inspector" protocol, please add a "protocol": "inspect" to the launch config.

Thanks @weinand , it's works.
And I do using node.js >= 8.0. But the old launch config works fine with vscode 1.18.x. I feel a little confused.

[weinand]

The launch config was always wrong.
But luckily long standing bug #16173 made the bogus launch config work.
In VS Code 1.18 we've fixed the bug and that affected your launch config.
Sorry for that.
