Special thanks to @mrsimpson for his effort and research, we now have the ability to debug and step through the Rocket.Chat application via Visual Studio Code's amazing debugging!!

There are a few different configurations, so I'll explain what they are:

  • Attach to meteor debug - use this when you have already started the application via npm run debug
  • Frontend (Chrome) - this opens a new Chrome instance and allows debugging the client code inside of VSCode
  • Server (debug) - launches the server code but it only hits breakpoints after Meteor has started up
  • Server (debug-brk) - launches the server code, however it allows setting a breakpoint in code that Meteor calls during the startup phase
  • Server (Testmode) - works like the regular debug but has the environmental variable TEST_MODE set to true.
  • Server + Frontend - launches both the server and frontend, with the server being debug-brk

I personally use this and love it now. I nearly always start Rocket.Chat with this now ;)

This is awesome! 😀 I vote to include, especially since most of our team are vscode converts 😄

Also makes it so much easier for people to get started contributing

Of course I vote to ship it ;)
Remarks:

  • I always start the server outside of VS Code and the attach. It feels more reliable and the risk of a timeout is zero
  • Once you restart the server while having it attached (e. g. since you change a server file), you need to re-attach manually
  • --inspect hardly has any negative impact on startup performance. I even though of having it as default for meteor npm start, since this is anyway only issued during development
