Debugging Deno applications inside VS Code is actually pretty straightforward with the right launch config. Use the below .vscode/launch.json config to debug your entire deno application, debug all of your deno tests, run a single test file, or just the specific test case that you have currently selected.

you will want to add "--allow-all" to the runtimeArgs you pass to the command. WIthout it anything that need an "--allow-*" flag will need you to customize the script with the specific flag. Of course that could also be a cleaner solution. Each time you have to use a new flag because of new feature you add it the launch.json file.
