View generated JS to aid in debugging

[x11x]

Feature request

An option flag or environment variable that causes tsx to print the path to the generated JS code before executing.

Why?

I would like to be able to view the generated JS code to assist debugging. I know it is cached in $TMPDIR, so tsx could print the path to help finding it.

Alternatives

Alternatively, an option to dump the generated code straight to stdout/stderr before running.

Or maybe debugging options I have missed?

Or I could just compile my code directly using esbuild/tsc for debugging. But knowing exactly what code tsx is producing is useful, in case the result of using esbuild/tsc is not the same for whatever reason (different version, different config, etc.).

Additional context

Debugging is difficult due to error stack traces referencing generated JS, not the source. Have I missed something? I have tried enabling sourceMaps in tsconfig but still don't seem to be getting useful error stack traces. (I guess stack traces is a separate issue)
Thank you.

Thanks for the request.

Using tsx is designed to be as seamless as using Node.js so this will not be accepted.

With any JavaScript dependency, you can go into node_modules, (prettify the code if minified,) and add your own console.logs as necessary to debug.

If stack traces are inaccurate/broken for you, please file a bug.
