Multiple startup files in Visual Studio Code

Is there a way to debug multiple files from one folder? I was expecting that I could create multiple launch files in the .settings folder and select the one I want to execute, but that doesn't seem to work. It seems to only insist on "launch.json".

VSCode only supports one .json run, but you can have multiple run configurations inside one run. json. The example https://code.visualstudio.com/Docs/debugging has 3 different launch configurations. You can specify any amount and select the active one using the drop-down list in the debug view.

While the question is about multiple configurations for a single folder, I just want to mention an alternative: multiple folders in the same workspace, each with its own launch.json.



One way is to just copy the file .vscode/launch.json

to another folder and edit it. The required configuration can be selected or edited from the drop-down menu to the right of the "Start Debugging" button (green "game").
