Remote debugging on a Raspberry Pi

Hello, this is my setup:

Host: Linux Ubuntu 19.06 64 bits
Visual Studio Code - Insiders 1.38.0
Extensions installed: Debugger for Electron 18.11.1, Remote-SSH, Debugger for Chrome

Remote: Raspbian Buster With desktop 2019-07-10
Remote extensions installed: Debugger for Electron 18.11.1

I am able to connect to the remote via SSH with VS Code Insiders to the Raspberry Pi. My Electron app is the Electron Quick Start sample.

This is the launch.json file:

{
    "version": "0.2.0",
    "configurations": [
        {
            "type": "electron",
            "request": "launch",
            "name": "Launch Electron",
            "sourceMaps": true,
            "trace": "verbose",
            "appDir": "${workspaceFolder}",
            "runtimeExecutable": "${workspaceRoot}/node_modules/.bin/electron"
        }
    ],
}

I did try this same configuration on a Linux machine. Locally, it is working just fine. I can set breakpoint inside JS code and all it's good. But I'm facing issue while remote debugging on another machine.

And I'm getting the message below while trying to start debugging (this is the end of the log, I can send you all the log if you want to have more information):

I'm stuck there and I would really like to be able to remote debugging an Electron app on a ARM64 from VSCode on another computer. Do someone have suggestions on how to fix this?

Restart button doesn't work

• VS Code Version: 1.26.1

Restart button doesn't work. It just does nothing. Stopping the debugging process (with the button on the debug bar) works as expected.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Launch an app in Electron
2. Press the Restart button in the debug bar.

Better description in README

This extension seems interesting, but I miss better explanation what it does. README states: "This is a fork of vscode-chrome-debug which automatically downloads and runs Electron".

First of all, why it downloads Electron? Where it is saves? When the download starts? IMHO this feature is useless.

Apparently, the extension adds new launch "type": "electron". Peering at the code, it tries to solve some problems of Electron debugging. I miss info in README, which problems and how are solved and what params the new type electron accepts.

Extension at Marketplace will download and use Electron v4.0.1

Hi,

Extension at Marketplace will download and use Electron v4.0.1.
Even with:

  "devDependencies": {
    "electron": "^8.0.0"
  }

the application is launched with Electron v4.0.1

Lunch localhost url instead of appDir

I am using angular and I want to be able to debug on localhost:4200 instead of open the transcompiled appDir is there a way to set the appDir to ocalhost:4200?

and is there a way to run the electron process with arguments?
