Debugging Extensions in Remote (Tunnels/SSH)

[cheetah-darst]

Hello

I am working on a plugin that will be used primarily when connected to a Remote Host. My team uses the Remote - SSH plugin to connect to our development server. I am running into some issues that I am only able to reproduce on the remote connection and I am unable to get the Debugging process to run correctly when trying to connect remotely.

My process is:

• Open extension code in vscode and begin debugging (this opens new vscode window)
• From there I use the Remote Explorer to connect to my remote code
• Back in the original vscode window the debug console reads: "explorer disposed"

And then my debugging session is just sitting there and no longer provides
Has anyone else experienced this?

I imagine I just need to update my launch.json file to have the vscode instance that the debugger opens be a remote session, but I a not sure how to accomplish that.

Thanks

Hi @cheetah-darst, have you seen the docs about debugging extensions in a remote environment?
