How do I skip external code when debugging in VS Code

Question

When debugging in vscode I'd like to make some "blackboxing" and do not enter into code I didn't write. How can I do this?

Answer 1

In your launch or attach debug task you can enter a

"skipfiles"

option which is

"An array of file or folder names, or path globs, to skip when debugging."

For example, from skipping node internals during debugging

"skipFiles": [   "${workspaceFolder}/node_modules/**/*.js",   "${workspaceFolder}/yourLibToSkip/**/*.js" ] 

Also, there is a "magic reference" to the built-in core node modules you can use:

"skipFiles": [   "<node_internals>/**/*.js" ] 

Answer 2

Only this worked for me.

"debug.javascript.terminalOptions": {     "skipFiles": [         "<node_internals>/**"     ] }
