Debugging with jetbrains run configuration doesnt seem to work with nx 17

[thomasburguiere]

Current Behavior

Currently, since updating to nx 17, when starting a NX run configuration for a nest application in debug mode in Intellij or webstorm, the application doestn suspend on breakpoints.

Expected Behavior

Application execution should suspend on breakpoints

Steps to Reproduce

• create a nx run configuration in intellij, e.g.

<component name="ProjectRunConfigurationManager">
  <configuration default="false" name="booking-api:serve" type="NxRunConfigurationType" folderName="my apps">
    <option name="nx-projects" value="booking-api" />
    <option name="nx-targets" value="serve" />
    <option name="nx-target-configuration" value="" />
    <envs />
    <method v="2" />
  </configuration>
</component>

• start it in debug mode;

> nx run booking-api:serve

facing the same issue. The only breakpoint that is hit, is a line in my custom webpack.config.js.

UPDATE: Source Maps are no longer generated @ NX 17. Just verified that by rolling back to 16.
UPDATE 2: I was able to get my debugger up & running again by following the steps provided in here: https://webpack.js.org/guides/typescript/#source-maps

Thanks @andrekat used the same approach as you, fixed everything (also a similar issue with vs code)

👍

Seems to not really be an issue linked to the nx console extension, but rather to nx 17 itself.
