builtin: unable to successfully run mocha tests (debug)

[vince-fugnitto]

Description

I am unable to successfully run mocha tests in the application (debug).
It is possible that due to a typo, the wrong version (incompatible) was published in open-vsx, and means we cannot debug successfully.

Using the previous entries for node-debug (and node-debug2) works successfully:

"vscode-builtin-node-debug": "https://github.com/theia-ide/vscode-node-debug/releases/download/v1.35.3/node-debug-1.35.3.vsix",
"vscode-builtin-node-debug2": "https://github.com/theia-ide/vscode-node-debug2/releases/download/v1.33.0/node-debug2-1.33.0.vsix",

Steps to Reproduce

1. start the application using 'theia' as a workspace
2. open a *.spec file (ex: 'logger.spec.ts')
3. open the debug-view
4. select 'run mocha test' as a debug configuration
5. click on run
6. notice that the test does not run, and nothing happens

Additional Information

• Error Log (when clicking on 'run'):

Opened an issue on VSX so we can track publishing the correct version of node-debug:

• node-debug: incorrect version published due to typo open-vsx/publish-extensions#19

@vince-fugnitto I don't see incompatibility issues from errors. Could you please check that again as with Java node extension is properly packaged by comparing with the same version from VS Code marketplace.

Sure! I'll give it a try and report back my findings.

[vince-fugnitto]

I was unable to get it working using the node-debug version directly from the vscode marketplace either (latest).

[akosyakov]

ok, thanks for checking, we need to fix support support of latest node debug in Theia (do we need another issue for it?), for now we can make sure that the proper version is published to the registry

I tried with the updated version present in open-vsx and it still fails to work for me:

• https://open-vsx.org/extension/ms-vscode/node-debug

When using the updated vscode-node-debug extension, the following error still occurs when trying to debug. It looks like the dist folder is missing in our packaged extension:
