Custom File Launch Debugger
This extension provides a custom debug type askFileLaunch that prompts you to select a file to launch (e.g., Python or Node.js) when starting a debug session.
How to use
Add a configuration to your .vscode/launch.json:
{
"type": "askFileLaunch",
"name": "Ask for file to launch",
"request": "launch",
"baseType": "python" // or "node"
}
Start debugging with this configuration. You will be prompted to select a file to launch.
The selected file will be used as the entry point for the debug session (as the program property).
baseType can be python, node, or any other debug type. The file filter will adjust accordingly.
