Hi, this extension of vscode connect directly on app (duktape engine with debugger support) OR via nodejs/proxy ?

Thanks for clarify any.

PS: i.e., what is the scene to uses it succefully.

It connects directly to the target duktape app via TCP. Any app with debugger support enabled running duktape version 1.5.0/1.6.0 should work. Support for v2.0.0 is on the works but I'd like to do some refactoring before releasing that version. (If you do need support for version 2.0.0, you can build off the 2.0.0 working branch and install the extension manually in the meantime).

See Debug Host (Server) Instructions for more info.

On VSCode, you need to create a launch.json file under that .vscode directory (You can do this by clicking on the gear icon on the debug panel), and add a launch configuration to the file.

Example:

"version": "0.2.1",
"configurations": [
        {
            "name"        : "Duk Attach",
            "type"        : "duk",
            "request"     : "attach",
            "stopOnEntry" : false,

            "address"     : "localhost", // ip bound to the duktape runtime's listener socket
            "port"        : 9091, // Port specified on your duktape runtime's listener socket

            "localRoot"   : "${workspaceRoot}",

             // If using a transpiled language with source maps:
            "sourceMaps"  : false,
            "outDir"      : "${workspaceRoot}/bin"
        }
]

Let me know if this clarifies things.

If there's no longer any other questions, I'll close this issue.
Please re-open it if you need anything else.
