VSCode debug "can't find Node.js binary"

[SteveMelons]

When trying to use the debug feature in VSCode, it throws an error saying that it cannot find the node binary.

launch.json

  "configurations": [
    {
      "type": "pwa-node",
      "request": "launch",
      "name": "Launch Program",
      "skipFiles": [
        "<node_internals>/**"
      ],
      "program": "${workspaceFolder}/src/app.ts",
      "outFiles": [
        "${workspaceFolder}/**/*.js"
      ]
    }
  ]
}

Is there any special configuration needed to get this to work?

Are you using nvm.fish in Windows? Does it work outside Code?

[SteveMelons]

I am using WSL2 with Ubuntu installed. I'm using the fish shell there and this plugin to manage the node versions. And everything works fine from the terminal, just not when using VSCode.

[jorgebucaran]

Your base OS is still Windows, correct? Who launches VSCode? What's in your PATH when VSCode starts?

Do you also happen to have a config.fish? Can you show me what's in it?

Closing as stale.
