Node.js debugging async emitHookFactory

[Cellule]

Issue Type: Feature Request

While debugging node.js with async function, I often end up in the function emitHookFactory from the node internal scripts.
The debugging experience would be better if that function was skipped as it has no value to the user.

Thanks for submitting this issue. Please also check if it is already covered by an existing one, like:

• Debug using NodeJS is resulting in vscode using "read only content from NodeJS" (#26782)

You can! Just add

"skipFiles": [
    "<node_internals>/**"
],

To your launch config and you will skip through those files, same as "blackboxing" using chrome devtools.

Would you consider making this the default with a launch configuration of type node ?

Possibly. Need to do some thinking around this and also microsoft/vscode-chrome-debug-core#245
