使用自动重启在vscode中调试打字稿

Question

I am setting up a typescript project with node.

I can debug my main.ts file in vs code with this launch.json configuration:

 {
        "type": "node",
        "request": "launch",
        "name": "Lancer le programme",
        "program": "${workspaceRoot}/src/main.ts",
        "outFiles": [
            "${workspaceRoot}/dist/**/*.js"
        ]
    }

This works fine but there is no auto restart when I edit main.ts

To implement auto restart, I launch in my project directory tsc --watch , and then this lauch configuration:

    {
        "type": "node",
        "request": "launch",
        "name": "nodemon",
        "runtimeExecutable": "nodemon",
        "runtimeArgs": [
            "--debug=5858"
        ],
        "program": "${workspaceRoot}/src/main.ts",
        "outFiles": [
            "${workspaceRoot}/dist/**/*.js"
        ],
        "restart": true,
        "port": 5858,
        "console": "integratedTerminal",
        "internalConsoleOptions": "neverOpen",
        "sourceMaps": true
    },

The above configuration does autorestart when I edit source files, but the vscode debugger doesn't break anymore...

Has anyone achieved : debugging typscript in vscode with autorestart ?

This is my launch.json :

{
    "version": "0.2.0",
    "configurations": [
        {
            "type": "node",
            "request": "launch",
            "name": "nodemon",
            "runtimeExecutable": "${workspaceFolder}/node_modules/nodemon/bin/nodemon.js",
            "program": "${workspaceFolder}/build/index.js",
            "restart": true,
            "runtimeArgs": [
                "--debug=5858",
                "--inspect-brk"
            ],
            "port": 5858,
            "console": "integratedTerminal",
            "internalConsoleOptions": "neverOpen"
        }
    ]
}

Note that the prop program must indicate compiled js file. In your case it is ${workspaceRoot}/src/main.ts , but should be ${workspaceRoot}/*compile directory eg. build*/main.js ${workspaceRoot}/*compile directory eg. build*/main.js .

Also make sure the typescript recompiles the files to the target directory.
