(Question) Does vscode-js-debug support private class fields?

[leonardoraele]

Private class fields doesn't appear in the "Variables" sidebar. I noticed v8 does have a method for reading private properties of objects, but it's in experimental stage: https://chromedevtools.github.io/devtools-protocol/v8/Runtime/#method-getProperties

Do I have to enable use of experimental api or something like this to see private fields; or is it just not implemented yet?

Example:

class Subject
{
	publicValue = 'not so secret';
	#secretValue = 'my secret';
}

const subject = new Subject();

It's now 2023 and I still can't see the fields in either the Variables tab nor Watch (this.#stuff throws "SyntaxError: Private field #stuff must be declared in an enclosing class."). Is there something I need to do to enable the feature?

This works for me, please make sure you're up to date on your debugger/vscode version

It turns out the compiler target was not high enough so TypeScript converted the # properties into name-mangled ones instead and those did not show in the debugger.
