does anyone here use vscode breakpoint debugging regularly and see issues with breakpoints being missed or high cpu usage?

I gave up on it for that reason, use WebStorm now and far more robust in that regard

what OS were you trying it on?

MacOS Monterey (and earlier)

I've been trying to recreate this and I couldn't on windows or linux

I don’t think so, it was a fairly common occurrence for the whole thing to grind to a halt working on various different projects. It’s been a few months now since I moved over so I don’t remember clearly but I think it escalated faster as the number of functions in the project increased.

I have a bad experience on VSCode, the most common problem is when SST is working properly but breakpoints doesn't stop execution. This happen more frequently when build process are iterated several times. I solve it restarting VSCode. I'm using Macbook Pro 16inch 2021.

@thdxr I sometimes have the CPU and fan going wild. I have a lerna setup though.. I have only caught the ts server crashing in a loop trying to start, but it may be unrelated to SST since it does not refresh changes from the TS/lerna setup 🤷 . Probably more of a VSC thing, I if my setup would work better with WebStorm 🤔 .

I’ve been using Webstorm for a few months and it’s a lot more stable when debugging. It still works the machine hard but the crashes and missed breakpoints don’t happen. It’s generally a much more fully fledged IDE too, although not free of charge
