Can't use javascript debug terminal anymore - javascript-debugger

I've previously been able to use the debug terminal without any issue, but now when I try to open it (by clicking the little down arrow next to the new terminal plus symbol and clicking "JavaScript Debug Terminal". I get the following error:
No Terminal profile provider registered for id "extension.js-debug.debugTerminal"
I've googled and come up empty handed. Does anyone know what could be causing this?
Thansk in advance!

Why does the Spyder debugger seem totally unresponsive?

I'm new to trying out Spyder, and attempting to debug. I'm very familiar with Matlab's debugging, which Spyder's appears similar to.
Unfortunately, when I enter debug mode, the debug menu buttons and hotkeys are unresponsive; nothing happens when I click or type them. I have no idea where to start to resolve this. I can start the debugger, which opens the ipdb console, without issue. But then it's totally unresponsive to anything other than literally typing into the ipdb console (e.g., 'quit', or define variables [which does work])
Does anyone have any suggestions? Or is there followup information that could be helpful? Thanks in advance!
In case this is useful to anyone in the future, this was solved with a full un-install / re-install of anaconda. I don't know what the original problem was.

Firefox: debugger: does not stop at breakpoints

There seem to be a lot of postings about this class of problems. Perhaps there is a Mozilla forum where I can ask about this, instead of here?
In my case, I can set breakpoints easily and I can see that they are set. But they are not hit when I refresh the page. Instead, an exception I throw (occurring after the breakpoint) is caught.
EDIT: I found an obscure icon near the top of the window to activate and deactivate the breakpoints! I enabled the breakpoints, but now the page is infinitely looping in some of the debugger's own code and reporting "Paused on exception SyntaxError: '*,:x' is not a valid selector."
I was using the debugger for a Web Extension. Did that put it in a strange mode for regular debugging? How would I get out of this mode?
Question Firefox debugger breakpoint not working did not help me.
This is an old post, but I recently had the same issue and decided to share my solution with the world.
I'm on Firefox 89.0.2 and recently noticed that the debugger does not stop at breakpoints. Completely removing my profile directory and restarting Firefox solved the issue.
To find out the location of your profile folder check the following page from Mozilla: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profiles-where-firefox-stores-user-data

rstudio: turn off notification that new breakpoints will be activated when file sourced

This is pretty whiny, I know, but I find it distracting when I insert a breakpoint during a debugging session and RStudio pops up that notice about the breakpoint not being activated until file re-sourced. Is there a way to turn this notification off? The hollow red dot is clear enough for me!
Official word is "can't do it."

The payload is invalid

I am new to Laravel. When I am in debug mode I get the following errors every time every page loads:
The payload is invalid
After pressing two times on Continue I get the error
The MAC is invalid
The error messages are located inside the encrypter.php file. After pressing "Continue" again, I can proceed with debugging with breakpoints and so on, and everything works fine. The $payload-variable is null.
The project is still very basic. Only some things like CRUD like explained on tutorials.
What is payload? And am I missing some kind of configuration? How to get rid of these error messages?
The answer is found in this post:
Can't using Visual Code to debug in Laravel project
I also:
closed VS Code Editor
cleared all history in my browser, including cookies and cache
ran the commands as mentioned in the post inside the windows cmd window (so not the integrated terminal inside VS Code Editor)

Error message - You need to specify full path to an executable file+mvc

I am working on an MVC project- for changing the default browser I added a web form and by right-clicking, I changed the default browser, but now when I tried to run the MVC app it showing an error pop up."You need to specify the full path to an executable file"
Can anyone help me to fix it?
Right click on Project file ( .csproj) and select Properties.
Go to the Web tab.
Choose specific page radio button ( its The start external program causing the problem).
I did the same default browser trick that you did and ended up with the same error every time I tried to run the app.
I tried:
Using 'Browse With...' and manually pointing to the exe of one of the browsers
No joy
running devenv /resetsettings
No joy
Installing WoVS Default Browser Switcher and switching between browsers
No Joy
In the project properties changing to 'Don't open a page. Wait for a request from an external application' then changing back to 'Specific Page'
No more error!
As far as I know the last step is all that was needed but just in case a previous step had a side effect I thought I'd list them all.
Hope that fixes your problem, it's a truly awful error.
