Prior to some recent update of Visual Studio Code I was able to debug my Node.js Apps written in TypeScript with this launch.json
configuration
{
// Use IntelliSense to learn about possible attributes.
// Hover to view descriptions of existing attributes.
// For more information, visit: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=830387
"version": "0.2.0",
"configurations": [
{
"type": "node",
"request": "launch",
"name": "Debug API",
"protocol": "inspector",
"program": "${workspaceFolder}/apps/api/src/main.ts",
"outFiles": ["${workspaceFolder}/dist/apps/api/main.js"],
"sourceMaps": true
}
]
}
But now I'm getting this error
import * as express from 'express';
^^^^^^
SyntaxError: Cannot use import statement outside a module

Any idea of how can I fix this? Or at least make it work while VSC Team provides an answer on their GitHub https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/102834
You can do the following:
Add (if not already exist) a build step in the package.json
, something like this;
"ci-build": "npx tsc",
I have in the tsconfig.json
the following options;
"compilerOptions": { "outDir": "dist", "rootDir": "src", "module": "commonjs" "sourceMap": true, "lib": ["esnext", "dom"], "strict": true, "esModuleInterop": true, "target": "es2017" }
Note : Make sure to set the sourceMap
to true
My launch.json
looks like this;
{ "type": "node", "request": "launch", "name": "Build Project", "program": "${workspaceFolder}/src/index.ts", "preLaunchTask": "npm: ci-build", "sourceMaps": true, "smartStep": true, "internalConsoleOptions": "openOnSessionStart", "outFiles": ["${workspaceFolder}/dist/**/*.js"] }

According to a comment on this github issue , VSC Team has provided a fix for version 1.48 of Visual Studio Code:
{
"type": "node",
"request": "launch",
"name": "Debug launcher",
"protocol": "inspector",
"program": "${workspaceFolder}/apps/launcher/src/main.ts",
"outFiles": ["${workspaceFolder}/dist/**/*.js"],
"sourceMaps": true
}
