Node not found after upgrading the IDE

[frnmjn]

• VSCode Version: 1.48.0
• OS Version: elementary OS 5.1 Hera

Steps to Reproduce:
I use asdf to have a specific node version for each workspace. When i run the mocha test laucher i receive this error.

If I downgrade the version to 1.46.1 it restart to work

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes

Does /home/ejf/.asdf/shims/node exist? Or is it a symlink or something?

[frnmjn]

yes it exists and is not a simbolic link

Thanks @ejf-coders51. Unfortunately trying asdf in a container locally, I didn't hit this. I made a build of the extension that adds additional information to the error message, can you give it a shot? https://memes.peet.io/img/105128-js-debug.vsix You can install it by hitting F1 and then Install from VSIX.

Also, as a workaround, you can set debug.javascript.usePreview: false in your user settings to use the old debugger until we get this fixed.

i've installed the vsix. In the terminal npm is working. it seams that the debugger is not runned in the project folder

Ah, I see, thanks. Two things, in addition to usePreview: false, you can use to get around it:

1. Set nodeVersionHint: 12 in your package.json
2. Start code from a terminal so that in inherits its environment, rather than from the UI

I will close this as a dupe of microsoft/vscode-js-debug#717, which should fix this.
