HI,

Do you have the ExtendScript Toolkit installed? if so you probably want to remove it as it conflicts with visual studio.

Let us know if that helps

Regards

Hi,

That looks like you have a problem with the debug section in you launch.json file, can you post the contents of the file here so we can investigate?

ExtendScript (plus InDesign) is slow to the point of not working

    Hi,

    I would recommend moving to the ExtendScript debugger for Visual studio code.

    more information here - https://medium.com/adobetech/extendscript-debugger-for-visual-studio-code-public-release-a2ff6161fa01

    Can be downloaded from the visual studio code marketplace inside of Visual Studio Code, which is available here - Visual Studio Code - Code Editing. Redefined

    Regards

    Malcolm
