VS Code Direct Debugging

kmelmon edited this page Feb 8, 2020 · 5 revisions

"Direct Debugging" allows you to debug JS while it's running directly in the client (as opposed to in the web debugger).
To set this up, you need to make a few code changes in your native code to configure direct debugging:
-In the app code that creates and sets DevSettings, you'll need to turn these settings on:
devSettings->useDirectDebugger = true;
devSettings->debuggerBreakOnNextLine = true;
devSettings->debuggerPort = 9229;
-In VS Code add a configuration like this:
{ "type": "node", "request": "attach", "name": "Attach to ReactTest direct debugger", "protocol": "inspector", "port": 9229 }
