How to change launch.json or package.json for run dev or build in VS Code for 0.15.x

[terry]

with the 0.14.7 version, I use VS Code as below “launch.json”

"configurations": [
	{
		"type": "node",
		"request": "launch",
		"name": "Launch Program",
		"program": "${workspaceRoot}/build/script.dev.js"
	}
]

then, for quasar 0.15.x , what I have to do dev/build in VS Code?

even I add the dev/build lines in package.json

“scripts”: {
“lint”: “eslint --ext .js,.vue src”,
“test”: “echo “No test specified” && exit 0”,
“dev”: “quasar dev”,
“build”: “quasar build”
}…

and

launch.json is modified as below

	{
		"type": "node",
		"request": "launch",
		"name": "Launch via NPM",
		    "cwd": "${workspaceFolder}",
		"runtimeExecutable": "npm",
		"runtimeArgs": [
			"run",
			"dev"
		],
		"port": 8080
	}

but it not work.

I hope to get help ㅠㅠ

@terry Launch is for browsers. Instead why don’t you simply create a npm script in package.json, such as for instance:

"dev": "quasar dev -m pwa",

and then in vscode Task > Run Task… and chose npm: dev

Thanks @LaurentPayot ,

after add the line in package.json as you comment,
I also add to this launch.json as below

“configurations”: [

	{
		"type": "node",
		"request": "launch",
		"name": "Start quasar",
		"runtimeExecutable": "npm",
		"runtimeArgs": [
			"run-script",
			"dev"
		]
	},
   {
  "type": "chrome",
  "request": "launch",
  "name": "Debug Quasar",
  "url": "http://localhost:8080",
  "webRoot": "${workspaceRoot}",
  "sourceMaps": true,
  "sourceMapPathOverrides": {
    "webpack:///*": "${webRoot}/*"
  }
	 }
],

then once “Start without debugging” ( ^F5) for “Start Quasar” , And then “Start debug” of “Debug quasar” configuration. Then I could start hot-reload state of my app and debug with VS Code, even I am not sure it is the best.

I update as below for start debug of “quasar dev” for VS code , It works as I expected. In order debuging in VS code, have to launch “Debug Quasar” after start debug.

"configurations": [

	   {
		   "type": "node",
		   "request": "launch",
		   "name": "Launch Program",
		   "program": "/usr/local/bin/quasar",
		   "args": ["dev"]
	   },
