Visual Studio Code ExtendScript Doesn't work. Nothing happens on Debug.

[tom_wilson]

I've set it up according to all the tutorials online suggest.

I hit debug, the vscode debug widget appears to indicate it's running, but nothing happens.

The bar at the bottom of vscode remains blue, but according to some it should turn orange.

No errors or sign of any script running in the adobe application.

Nothing.

I've tried checking all the logs, debug console, etc. Nothing!

I've tried using an earlier version, doesn't work either.

The script in question is targeting Photoshop 2020 and simply contains:

alert("HELLO")

If run it directly in photoshop, the alert shows.

But when I try the debugger, not a thing happens.

This is my launch.json:

{
    // Use IntelliSense to learn about possible attributes.
    // Hover to view descriptions of existing attributes.
    // For more information, visit: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=830387
    "version": "0.2.0",
    "configurations": [
        {
            "type": "extendscript-debug",
            "request": "launch",
            "name": "Launch Script in ExtendScript Engine",
            "script": "${workspaceFolder}/modify-path.jsx",
            "hostAppSpecifier": "photoshop-140.064",
        }
    ]
}

Any ideas?
