I have two separate node projects in two separate workspaces. I am trying to debug the projects with vscode debugger but I can only debug one project at a time. If I try to launch the debugger for the second project after starting the debugger for the first one, vscode debuggers restarts the first project again.
I have gone through various tutorials and vscode documentation for debugging and vscode debugging for nodejs but to no avail. Following are the launch configurations for both projects.
Project 1(fort):
{
"version": "0.2.0",
"configurations": [
{
"type": "node",
"request": "launch",
"name": "Launch fort",
"runtimeExecutable": "npm",
"runtimeArgs": [
"start"
],
"envFile": "${workspaceFolder}/.env",
"port": 9229
}
]
}
Value for scripts
attribute in package.json
"scripts": {
"start": "node --inspect app.js",
"test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1"
}
Project 2(User Management):
{
"version": "0.2.0",
"configurations": [
{
"type": "node",
"request": "launch",
"name": "Launch User Management",
"runtimeExecutable": "npm",
"runtimeArgs": [
"start"
],
"envFile": "${workspaceFolder}/.env",
"port": 9229
}
]
}
Value for scripts
attribute in package.json
"scripts": {
"start": "node --inspect server.js",
"test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1"
}
As per my understanding after reading the vscode docs, if I have separate launch.json
present in the .vscode
folder of the workspaces that particular configuration will be used to launch the debugger.
Perhaps I am missing something in the docs but I have invested enough time and have been unable to figure out a solution.
You need to use two separate ports for the debuggers to attach, eg:
Project 1:
{
"version": "0.2.0",
"configurations": [
{
"type": "node",
"request": "launch",
"name": "Launch fort",
"runtimeExecutable": "npm",
"runtimeArgs": [
"start"
],
"envFile": "${workspaceFolder}/.env",
"port": 9228
}
]
}
Or if you want to attach to the process:
{
"type": "node",
"request": "attach",
"name": "Attach",
"port": 9228
}
Start node inspect on port 9228:
node --inspect=9228 index.js
You can keep the defaults for the second project.
