The command

>plua --init
will create a project setup in a new workspace for vscode.

Besides choosing a QA template it will also install

/.vscode/launch.json
/.vscode/tasks.json

The launch.json contains 2 different launch configs:

-plua: Run Current Lua File with Debugger
-plua: Run Current Fibaro File with Debugger

The first config just runs a lua file without loading the fibaro APIs. The second expects the file to be a QA and will load the fibaro APIs and try to start QuickApp:onInit if it exists.

Note that when pressing F5 or choosing "Start Debugging" in vscode, it will run the current chosen launch configuration. If that happens to be the first config, in this case, it will complain that there is no fibaro.* or api.* functions available.
In vscode we select the launch config in the run and debug side panel.
