I have started a new tiny project.

  1. I installed express.

  2. Have www folder

  3. have index.html file with this

    my local server

    server working

    just put your html,css, js files here and it work on your own local nodejs server

  4. have server.js

    var express = require('express'); var app = express();

    app.use(express.static(__dirname + '/www'));

    app.listen('3000'); console.log('working on 3000');

On VS code, while running unity C# and pressing F5 is requested to select environment.

in JS I immediately get an error "cannot find program to debug", as well as when I press ctrl+F5 (run without debugging).

I see that here someone asked a similar question regarding python, but wasn't answered either. VSC debugger not working

help anyone?

Ok let me try to help you I was also stuck at the same problem. Way I sort it => go to the launch.json file can edit the filename.js in configuration (I think that the filename which is debugging is not write) Eg : I am debugging app.js (My configuration are::::)

launch.json 

{
// Use IntelliSense to learn about possible attributes.

"version": "0.2.0",
"configurations": [


    {
        "type": "node",
        "request": "launch",
        "name": "Launch Program",
        "program": "${workspaceFolder}/app.js"
    }
]``

}
