Roku App Crashes Not Showing Stacktrace or Logs in VSC (Possibly After Recent Update)

Hi everyone,

Lately I’ve noticed that when my Roku app crashes during development, I no longer get a stacktrace or any error details in the console. Visual Studio Code sometimes shows the error line, but often doesn’t, leaving me without clues about what caused the crash.

I suspect this might have started after a recent Roku update, but I’m not completely sure. When I try connecting to the device console on port 8085, it closes automatically.

This happens especially when the crash occurs inside a while loop — breakpoints don’t hit, and no stacktrace appears.

Has anyone else seen this or found a workaround to get proper crash logs again?

Using Visual Studio Code with the Roku extension, and the latest Roku OS and firmware.
