Making debugger work with nodemon and babel-node

[ganapativs]

When trying to debug with vscode, debugger gets attached, breakpoint gets added(shows proper red dot). but, the control won't stop at breakpoint.

But, in chrome inspect(chrome://inspect), everything works fine.

The app is running inside docker.

command(notice babel-node here):
nodemon --delay 5 --inspect=0.0.0.0:9229 -w src --exec \"babel-node src\"

launch.json

{
    "version": "0.2.0",
    "configurations": [
        {
            "type": "node",
            "request": "attach",
            "name": "Attach to crazy app",
            "port": 9229,
            "address": "localhost",
            "sourceMaps": true,
            "remoteRoot": "/root/app/",
            "localRoot": "${workspaceRoot}", // app is workspace root and has src folder
            "smartStep": true,
            "restart": true
        }
    ]
}

What am I missing here?

Hi @ganapativs!

Have you tried adding sourceMapPathOverrides in your launch.json?

Something like this:

"sourceMapPathOverrides": {
  "/root/app/*": "${workspaceFolder}/*"
},

Here is my launch.json:

{
  "version": "0.2.0",
  "configurations": [
    {
      "type": "node",
      "request": "attach",
      "name": "Attach to API",
      "protocol": "inspector",
      "restart": true,
      "sourceMaps": true,
      "processId": "${command:PickProcess}",
      "stopOnEntry": false,
      "smartStep": true,
      "address": "localhost",
      "port": 9229,
      "localRoot": "${workspaceFolder}/projects/api/",
      "remoteRoot": "/usr/src/app/",
      "timeout": 5000,
      "showAsyncStacks": true,
      "sourceMapPathOverrides": {
        "/usr/src/app/*": "${workspaceFolder}/projects/api/*"
      },
      "skipFiles": [
        "usr/src/app/node_modules/**/*.js",
        "<node_internals>/**/*.js"
      ]
    }
  ]
}

@strattadb I don't remember if I did that. I'll try this today and let you know 👍
