Debug a node package

readme.md

Basic guide to debugging with node

  • Place a debugger statement in the appropriate place within your typescript code. Say, generate_report.ts
  • Install Chrome, then open the URL chrome://inspect/ using it.
  • Click Open dedicated DevTools for Node
    • This will enable listening on the node debugging port.
  • Add --inspect to the node invocation of your actual code. EG: node --inspect ./dist/generate_report.js
    • This is extremely useful for diving into object mappings during template expansion.
