VS Code Debugging

Create a launch.json file in your .vscode folder with the following:

{
  "version": "0.2.0",
  "configurations": [
    {
      "type": "node",
      "request": "launch",
      "name": "Mocha Tests",
      "program": "${workspaceFolder}/node_modules/mocha/bin/_mocha",
      "args": [
        "--require", "ts-node/register",
        "-u", "tdd",
        "--timeout", "999999",
        "--colors", "--recursive",
        "${workspaceFolder}/test/**/*.ts"
      ],
      "internalConsoleOptions": "openOnSessionStart"
    }
  ]
}

In the debug tab (Ctrl+Shift+D) select "Mocha Tests" from the dropdown and then click "Start Debugging". Results will display in the console on the bottom of the VS Code.
