new dialogue popping up that did not occur previously

[lousilver]

Creating an addin for excel. Today the following message pops up when i start the taskpane. This has never happened previously. I tried new projects, I've tried complete reinstalls of vscode, npm.js & office.js. I tried playing with the settings in launch.json. This dialogue appears everytime regardless of what i do.

For example, in launch.json, i tried setting usewebview to false, I tried pointing runtimeexecutable to excel.exe (with fullpath), I tried setting url to the localhost taskpane.html, etc.

Did you make any progress, Lou? I can't find any way to attach to the process. The Microsoft documentation states From the Run drop-down menu, choose Excel Desktop (Custom Functions). I have yet to ever see Excel Desktop (Custom Functions) listed anywhere, and I'm unclear how I would edit launch.json to make that happen.

Hi, I posted a work around on stack. It's not a full solution, but it makes the dialogue go away.
