In Visual Studio Code, how to pass arguments in launch.json

Question

In Visual Studio Code, in the launch.json file that launches the app I'm writing, how do I add command line arguments?

Answer 1

As described in the documentation, you need to use the args attribute. E.g.

{
    // Use IntelliSense to learn about possible attributes.
    // Hover to view descriptions of existing attributes.
    // For more information, visit: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=830387
    "version": "0.2.0",
    "configurations": [
        {
            "type": "node",
            "request": "launch",
            "name": "Debug App",
            "program": "${workspaceFolder}/main.js",
            "args": ["arg1", "arg2", "arg3"]
        }
    ]
}

Answer 2

I pass arguments by this way for the python program, it may work for nodejs:

{
    "type": "node",
    "request": "launch",
    "name": "Debug App",
    "program": "${workspaceFolder}/main.js",
    "args": ["--arg1", "value1", "--arg2", "value2"]
}
