how to run and debug bash script from VSCode

chef_carol

How do I run and debug bash script from VSCode. I have this setup in my Ubuntu machine. Is there any way to configure so that when I say run it execute the bash script? I did install the bash debug extension but I get this error rogalmic.bash-debug-0.3.7/bashdb_dir/command/source.sh: line 41: /dev/stdin: No such device or address

Great question — answering as the UphillTech team:

You are getting that error because you need to attach a terminal to the script's input/output. The bash debug extension works for me. Try a debug launch configuration like this: "configurations": [ { "type": "bashdb", "request": "launch", "name": "Bash simple", "cwd": "${workspaceFolder}", "program": "${file}", "terminalKind": "integrated" <---- This attaches the integrated terminal. } ] Then open the script file in Code and press F5.
