No Console Output

Taken a day of experimentation to understand how to attach the debugger in VS Code. Largely due to my system insisting on using Edge Legacy for webviews.

Now I have breakpoints, I find I don't have any console output in the VS Code Debug Console. Expected?

I've found a work-around by using the Microsoft Edge DevTools Preview console so not urgent, just extra friction when debugging.

Have also discovered the WebView2 Runtime (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/webview2/) which does provide console output to the VS Code Debug Console. Missed the requirement that it needed to be separately installed. I'll raise this with the doc project.

@bgausden did you add "trace": "verbose" to your launch.json config?

That doesn't affect console output. That allows diagnostic output from the debug extension to be shown.

I am developing Add-in with Excel, and also encounter this console output problem. If having any solution, please @me.

@dlee992 install webview2 if you can. I’ve had a better experience with it during development - including debug in the console.
