node.js - Winston Logger - NodeJs Debug console logs not showing in VSCode

Question

I'm using VSCode debugger and winston logger for NodeJS, but can't see output from application unless I specify external terminal like this:

"version": "0.2.0",
"configurations": [
    {
        "type": "node",
        "request": "launch",
        "name": "Launch Program",
        "program": "${workspaceFolder}/server.js",
        "console": "externalTerminal"
    }
]

Is there way to see that output in output window, like when i start code using CodeRunner plugin?

Answer 1

When using a logger that outputs to

process.stdout.write

you can use

"outputCapture": "std" in the launch config to also capture that.
