Error: Cannot find module '/Users/drew.wyatt/Projects/Nativescript/typescript-test/ios'

[drewwyatt]

Steps to Reproduce

• Create a new Nativescript project
• Open that project in visual studio
• Execute the command tns run ios --emulator
• Observe that the app launches and runs properly
• Quit the simulator
• Add the nativescript launch configuration to visual studio using the gear icon
• Click the play button while "Launch on iOS is selected"

Expected Results

• Simulator should launch with VSCode debugger attached

Actual Results

• Debug console reports error Error: Cannot find module '/Users/drew.wyatt/Projects/Nativescript/typescript-test/ios' (full output below)

Additional Notes

It appears that it is running the command node debug ios --no-client --watch (instead of tns debug ...).

Hey, @drewwyatt,

I tried your exact steps on my machine but I couldn't reproduce it. From your output I can only guess why tns command is replaced with node command - one possible reason is if some symlinks are not ok. A way to be sure a specific tns installation will be used is if you set it up in your launch.json configurations -> just add "nativescriptCliPath": "///" to each configuration - we use it for local installations of the CLI. If this doesn't help try upgrading to the latest versions of the CLI and the extension. Hope one of these will work for you. Write back if not.

Thanks!
