Extendscript debugger no longer working

Hi,

I've come across an issue with Extendscript Debugger :

All was working fine like 4 month ago with ED, and today as i was going back to coding on a work in progress, i was unable to launch a script from VS code :

my launch.json seems ok, .debug too, i'm targeting the good App...

And all i get is Debugger running with no effect, without executing any line of my code. Until i finally stop the debug session clicking the stop button. It manages to launch the App if closed, it's a good start... But that's all...

I'm working under Mojave,

on indesign extensions.

Debugger is V 1.1.2

vs code is V 1.45.1

Got any idea ?

i couldn't find any information about this problem.

Sounds like a debugger configuration problem but all was working fine 3 month ago...

(Before anyone asks : i've reduced code to a simple alert for testing purpose and it didn't trigger...)

Thanks.

Adrien

    Ok,

    i finally worked it out. It was definitely a vsCode issue :

    After installing Catalina, the problem was still there. I then made a clean uninstall of vsCode using Microsoft script, downloaded latest vsCode, and all is working just fine again !

    I encountered this issue a second time :

    It cost me two days before i realise that debugging wasn't working since someone had configured a firewall on my computer a few days before. Maybe this will help some beginners (like me), with alike issue.
