Is it possible to debug a function callback that's passed into executeWorkbench()?

[jeffb-sfdc]

The vscode instance/object can't be directly called, and I read that the preferred pattern is to do this:

import vscodeType from 'vscode'

const openFile = async (vscode: typeof vscodeType, file: string) => {
  const fsPath = vscode.Uri.parse(file).fsPath;
  const doc = await vscode.workspace.openTextDocument(fsPath);
  const editor = await vscode.window.showTextDocument(doc);
}


it('opens a file', async () => {
    await browser.executeWorkbench(openFile, '/Users/my-user-name/temp/test.txt');
});

This works, however, I'd like to be able to step into the callback function and debug it. (this example is pretty simple, but I have another one which isn't working and I would like to be able to debug it)

I've tried adding breakpoints, and I've tried adding debugger. I know the code is getting executed (in this situation the file is getting opened), but I'm not able to actually debug the code. I was wondering if anyone here has any tips or suggestions on how to do this?

Thanks!

Thanks for raising the issue.

I don't think this is possible. The code executed in executeWorkbench is run within a different process as the test which means it is not possible to attach a debugger to it.
