Execute node.js application in external terminal throws error. #22997
Description
I have an old app in node.js. This application runs on external terminal with this launch.json configuration:
{
// Use IntelliSense to learn about possible Node.js debug attributes.
// Hover to view descriptions of existing attributes.

"version": "0.2.0",
"configurations": [
{
"type": "node",
"request": "launch",
"name": "Launch Program",
"program": "${workspaceRoot}/app.js",
"cwd": "${workspaceRoot}",
"console": "externalTerminal"
},
{
"type": "node",
"request": "launch",
"name": "Attach to Process",
"port": 5858
}
]
}But when I have updated to vscode version 1.8, the application does not run anymore.
It runs fine on integrated terminal, but not in external. I need it runs on external terminal.
I have tried to set this vscode settings with no luck:
"terminal.integrated.shell.windows": "C:\\Windows\\sysnative\\cmd.exe",
//"terminal.external.windowsExec": "C:/Windows/System32/cmd.exe"
"terminal.external.windowsExec": "%COMSPEC%" I have asked this same with screenshot on stackoverflow:
