Debug does not stop in subprojects

[eiswind]

Describe the Bug

Create a new Angular (or even plain Typescript) project. Try to Debug. Works.
Move Angular project to a subfolder, create settings.json

{
    
    "karmaTestExplorer.logLevel": "debug",
    "karmaTestExplorer.karmaLogLevel": "debug",
    "karmaTestExplorer.projects":["bulletin-board"]
}

Debug does not stop at any breakpoint anymore.

Node Version: 16
VS Code Version: 1.70.1
Karma Version: 6.4
Frameworks: (e.g. Angular, Jasmine, Mocha) Angular, Jasmine

I'm able to reproduce this. A workaround you can try is to set the karmaTestExplorer.webRoot setting to the project path as well:

{
  "karmaTestExplorer.projects": ["bulletin-board"],
  "karmaTestExplorer.webRoot": "${workspaceFolder}/bulletin-board"
}

In a future release, the webRoot can be defaulted to the project path so that it should work without any special configuration.

Thanks for the workaround. but would this work if i have multiple projects in my workspace?

[lucono]

No, the workaround will only work for a single project in karmaTestExplorer.projects. I'll add a fix to the next release that should address it for multi-project setups.

@eiswind Try out the fix in the beta branch to confirm if it resolves the issue. You can use the vsix from the CI build, or build it yourself from the beta branch.

found it a little surprising that I had to change karmaTestExplorer.projects to "karmaTestExplorer.projectWorkspaces".
Debugging works at my side w/o setting webroot.

[lucono]

For someone working with a single project which is an Angular workspace, the current naming of karmaTestExplorer.projects is not very intuitive as it could potentially be confused to mean the projects in the Angular workspace. The rename to karmaTestExplorer.projectWorkspaces is intended to avoid that confusion. The old naming will continue to work even with the rename, but the plan is to remove it at some point in a future update.

If you believe the new naming to be less intuitive, I'd be open to thoughts for a different name for that setting.

[eiswind]

I just found that it did not work without renaming. It complained that karma could not be found (which I think is because it did not check the folder)

[lucono]

Thanks, fixed in beta branch. Use updated vsix to confirm.

[eiswind]

I can confirm that both settings are working now.
