Specifically part 2, section “Launch configuration settings / variables”.

You can also add a new Debug Configuration (open your .vscode/launch.json file and press the Add Config button) called “PowerShell: Launch Current File w/Args”. This configuration will prompt you for the arguments.

Does this look right?

I just want to pass a string “qa” as argument zero.

The top portion of my launch.json file

{ “version”: “0.2.0”, “configurations”: [ { “type”: “PowerShell”, “request”: “launch”, “name”: “PowerShell Launch Current File w/Args Prompt”, “script”: “${file}”, “args”: [“-myArg qa”], “cwd”: “${file}”
