Possible to debug current tab in VSCode without editing launch.json? [duplicate] - javascript

Debugging current file in VS Code

Closed 7 months ago.
I often have multiple NodeJS scripts in the same project, and I can only get debugging in VSCode to work, if I edit the launch.json to point at a specific file.
Is there a way to have debug work in the current tab/file without first having to edit launch.json?

you have to create 1 run configuration for each app that you have, but once you have them, you can just pick the right app from a drop-down

I am working on an HCL Commerce project and I receive this error when I load cart page locally:
File not found: /MyWebExtSitesSAS/javascript/widgets.map
I cannot find anywhere in the web references for widgets.map. Can you describe me what is this file used for, and if I can ignore this error?
I repost the answer in the comment by #disinfor because it answered my question
You can ignore that. A map file is used for debugging purposes. When
you minify code, e.g. js, css, etc. it obviously becomes hard to read
to find any errors. The map file is used by a browser to show where in
the original, unminified code the error is coming from.

For obvious security reasons, your browser cannot start another executable when a link is clicked.
It is not possible what are you asking for, the only way is to use this technique and associate a custom "protocol" to a given executable:

Use Javascript to run Bash script in background [duplicate]

I currently have a project site ( interact.rdarellano.com ) which uses PHP forms to run Bash scripts on my webserver. I'm not happy with this PHP method because it reloads the site every time that the button is clicked.
I've read that Javascript may be able to handle this task in the background. I've never experimented with Javascript so I'm hoping to find somebody that can help me achieve this or guide me on how to set this up.
Read about JSON and AJAX. Start with Jquery which has methods to deal with this.
