vsCode - How to add JVM argument for Spring Boot project

Question

I'm trying out VS Code by moving a project I did on Eclipse to it. I had a run configuration in Eclipse for this project which had the following JVM arguments:

--module-path lib/javafx-sdk-13/lib --add-modules=javafx.controls

Of course this "lib" folder and its contents followed to the new VS Code project folder but I don't know where to put those JVM arguments in vsCode, the equivalent of the run configurations with Eclipse essentially. I tried putting them in the args section of the launch.json file with no success.

I am using the spring boot dashboard to launch the project if that makes a difference.

Here is my launch.json:

{
"configurations": [
    {
        "type": "java",
        "name": "Spring Boot-BudgetApplication<budget>",
        "request": "launch",
        "cwd": "${workspaceFolder}",
        "console": "internalConsole",
        "mainClass": "com.someone.budget.BudgetApplication",
        "projectName": "budget",
        "args": ["--module-path","lib/javafx-sdk-13/lib","--add-modules=javafx.controls"]
    }
]

}

The solution was placing the args in the vmArgs section like so :

"vmArgs": "--module-path=lib/javafx-sdk-13/lib --add-modules=javafx.controls"
