"Cannot find debug adapter for type 'node'. "

Question

I'm trying to debug node script in vs code.

Below is my launch.json -

    {
        "version": "0.2.0",
        "configurations": [
            {
                "type": "node",
                "request": "launch",
                "name": "Debug sql report",
                "program": "${workspaceFolder}/scripts/debug_sql.js"
            }
        ]
    }

when I run I get an error Cannot find debug adapter for type 'node'.

My code version is - Version 1.36.1 (1.36.1)

Node debugger used to work earlier. But not sure why it is not working now.

Any idea how to fix this?

Answer 1

I had to restart vscode.

Not sure if it's connected but my app crashed because of JavaScript heap out of memory error.
