Debugging is not stable. (VsCode, Cmder)

[alanaasmaa]

Hello,

Im using vscode to debug nodejs.
My app crashes often and sometimes stops watching files.

I run npm run dev-debug that calls adonis serve --dev --debug in cmder.
Debugging starts and all is fine.

I attach my vscode with this config

       {
            "name": "Attach",
            "type": "node",
            "request": "attach",
            "port": 9229,
            "address": "localhost",
            "restart": true,
            "sourceMaps": false,
            "localRoot": "${workspaceRoot}",
            "remoteRoot": null
        }

Everything works okey, except app is crashing pretty often and watch stops watching.

I use adonuxt template

I am not sure how exactly Vscode debugger works, but adonis serve --debug is the command that starts the debugger to be used with Chrome devtools.

After doing a quick google search I believe you need to do following.

1. Inside .vscode/launch.json file, set program: ${workspaceFolder}/server.js
2. Do not start the server using adonis serve, since Vscode will start it for you once it will require the server.js file.

I don't remember excaxtly but i had some problems also when i launched the server from VsCode so i prefer to attach.

I will try to run server via vscode again, maybe i can recall what the problem was.

Here is my full vscode and im using the attach method.

            "program": "${workspaceRoot}/server.js",

The issue is not actionable. If you want you can ask for more help on forum, since there are bunch of Vscode users using Adonis https://forum.adonisjs.com/
