Stopping the debugger after Typescript compile error

[bradrice]

Is there a way to stop the debugger once it hits a compile error in typescript? If I select Launch Android it runs, hits a compile error and then sort of halts, but I don't see any way to start it again. Since it never launched to begin with, it seems I should just be able to hit the green triangle, but nothing happens and it seems the debugger is suspended.

I think this extension broke with Visual Studio Code 1.20. At least it won't run in my Windows 10 version of Visual Studio Code.

I have similar problem. I can't use debugger after Visual Studio Cod update to 1.20. I found and install 1.18 version of VSC (Windows 10, 64-bit) and debugger is working. I think as @bradrice that problem is probably caused by latest VSC update.

This issue was present before the recent complete breaking of the 1.20 update.

The output shows an error of any kind, could be SASS or TS or java or adb, but the debugger loading animation is still running and there's no way to retry/cancel/stop/force stop other than to reload the window.

Test scenario:

• Create nativescript typescript project
• Open it in VS Code
• Open some .ts file and introduce error in it
• From debug view use "Lunch on Android/iOS" to start build and deploy process
• In "Debug console" look for "TypeScript compiler failed with exit code 1."
• Confirm that progress bar in debug pane disappear
• Confirm that there is no node process running
• Now fix the error introduced earlier
• Attempt again to "Lunch on Android/iOS"
• App is successfully built and deployed
