vscode-ts-node-problems

This repo just exists for the purpose of helping reproduce a problem seen with VS Code and ts-node

Reproducing the Problem

1. Clone this repo
2. If you are using volta, run npm install. If you are using some other way to bootstrap your node and npm versions, install node 20.18.0 and npm 10.8.2. (It might work with other versions. This is just what I tested.) Then run npm install.
3. In VS Code, run the one configuration available, Run Test. You should see Hello World 1 and Hello World 2 printed to the console.
4. In VS Code, set a breakpoint on the Hello World 2 line and start the Run Test configuration in the VS Code debugger. Sometimes it will work, and sometimes it will fail with error code 139. The failure only happens when breakpoints are set.

Environment for Reproducing

I just got a new dev machine, and I never saw any problems with it on my old machine. My new dev machine has a "Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-14700 2.10 GHz" CPU which has far more cores than my previous machine. I haven't noticed any other problems in any other software, so it's not obviously a hardware flaw specific to this machine.

I ran these tests in 2 different versions of Ubuntu in WSL2 (on Windows 11) with the same results:

Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description:    Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS
Release:        24.04
Codename:       noble

and

Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description:    Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS
Release:        22.04
Codename:       jammy
