# Debugging in VS Code

> Source: https://trigger.dev/docs/troubleshooting-debugging-in-vscode

Debugging your task code in `dev` is supported via VS Code, without having to pass in any additional flags. Create a launch configuration in `.vscode/launch.json`:

launch.json

    {
      "version": "0.2.0",
      "configurations": [\
        {\
          "name": "Trigger.dev: Dev",\
          "type": "node",\
          "request": "launch",\
          "cwd": "${workspaceFolder}",\
          "runtimeExecutable": "npx",\
          "runtimeArgs": ["trigger.dev@latest", "dev"],\
          "skipFiles": ["<node_internals>/**"],\
          "sourceMaps": true\
        }\
      ]
    }
    

Then you can start debugging your tasks code by selecting the `Trigger.dev: Dev` configuration in the debug panel, and set breakpoints in your tasks code.
