I'm trying out the newly released Visual Studio Code preview on Mac OS X, when trying to start debugging or attaching to my node.js app I get the error "Cannot start OpenDebug because Mono (or a Mono version >= 3.10.0) is required".
I have installed the Mono MDK from http://www.mono-project.com/download/.
What do I need to do to get debugging working in VSCode preview?

The easiest way to start a debugging session in Visual Studio Code is to open a file in the editor, click the Run View icon in the Activity Bar (or press Ctrl+Shift+D on your keyboard), followed by the Run and Debug button at the top left corner of the application.
Open the extensions view (ctrl+shift+x) and search for @builtin @id:ms-vscode. js-debug. Right click on the JavaScript Debugger extension and select Switch to Pre-Release Version . Reload VS Code.
The most common problem is that you did not set up launch. json or there is a syntax error in that file. Alternatively, you might need to open a folder, since no-folder debugging does not support launch configurations.
A minimal CLI debugger is available with node inspect myscript. js . Several commercial and open source tools can also connect to the Node. js Inspector.
I did a brew install mono and the problem went away the next time I hit the run button.
Unfortunately, I have no idea why the MDK installer wouldn't work for you. This was an optimal solution for me since I use homebrew for most other development tools already.
