Configuration type not recognized in launch.json about vscode-powershell

[daviwil]

You may need to use version 0.1.0. If that doesn't work let me know and I'll see if I can help diagnose.

I installed it through ext install. If I enter extit says PowerShell is at version 0.1.0.

[daviwil]

Right, what I mean is that in your JSON file, use 0.1.0 as the version, not 0.2.0. The result:

{
    "version": "0.1.0",
    "configurations": [
        {
            "name": "PowerShell",
            "type": "PowerShell",
            "program": "DebugTest.ps1"
        }
    ] 
}

Also, hopefully this isn't a dumb question, but have you installed the PowerShell extension in VS Code? Ctrl+Shift+P, type 'Install Extension', press enter, type 'PowerShell' press enter, restart VS Code.

[pascalberger]

@daviwil Yes I installed it through ext install. If I enter ext it says PowerShell is at version 0.1.0.

Changing version in launch.json to 0.1.0 doesn't help.

Sorry Pascal, I think I misunderstood the core issue that you're reporting. It seems like you're just pointing out that there are some validation errors in the launch config. I believe that their launch.json validation just hasn't been updated to take different debug adapter types into account. These warnings can safely be ignored.

Have you tried debugging a script yet? Does it work for you despite the warnings?

[pascalberger]

Yeah, I know that I can ignore the warning and the launcher also works.

Just wanted to report that validation is not up to date atm. Don't know if something is missing which the extension needs to provide or a bug in vscode.

[daviwil]

I apologize, for some reason I originally interpreted it as "debugging isn't working" :) Thanks for pointing this out! I've filed a bug against Microsoft/vscode for this:

microsoft/vscode#546

[pascalberger]

Thanks!
