Javascript Console window missing in Visual Studio 2019

Question

I am debugging an Office Add-in. When I attach the debugger and select Visual Studio 2019 as the debugger target, the debugger successfully attaches and I can inspect the DOM. However, there is no option in the Debug or Debug -> Windows menu to open the Javascript Console window like there was in VS 2017.

What am I missing?

It seems Javascript console window has been removed in VS2019. Please check vs2019 release notes.

• The ability to use JavaScript Console functionality in ASP.NET projects has been removed. We recommend that customers use Console included within their favorite browser devtools.

In addition: Other member has submitted a feature request: Bring back javascript console. You can vote for it and if it gets enough points, the product team would consider it.
