Webstorm: debugging node.js sails app

Tags:

sails.js

I'm having a hard time finding the right combination of settings to allow me to debug my node.js sails application in webstorm.

These are the settings I've tried using, both configurations work (as in sails starts) but none is stopping at breakpoints.

If I go to the breakpoints menu and turn on 'Any exception enabled' - it does stop for exceptions, but never hits my breakpoints.

Any ideas? I'm on webstorm 7.0.1 and Node 0.10.18 / Sails 0.9.7

How do I debug Nodejs app?

Open the starting file (typically index. js ), activate the Run and Debug pane, and click the Run and Debug Node. js (F5) button. The debugging screen is similar to Chrome DevTools with a Variables, Watch, Call stack, Loaded scripts, and Breakpoints list.

How do you debug sails?

For Node v6 and above, use sails inspect . Attach the node debugger and lift the Sails app (similar to running node --debug app. js ). You can then use node-inspector to debug your app as it runs.

How do I debug next JS in WebStorm?

Just hold Ctrl+Shift / ⌘⇧ and click the URL address where the application is running. WebStorm launches the auto generated Debug Application run/debug configuration, the browser opens at http://localhost:3000/, and the Debug tool window appears showing you the call stack and variables.

You don't need the --debug in node parameters. Here is my config and i am on 7.0.1 and node 0.10.4

Let me know if it helped. Also, you are hitting the bug to run debug right? enter image description here

Also, can you please invalidate caches/ restart? That helps sometimes. Here is a snapshot in the file menu. enter image description here

I had the same problem and simply installed sails local to the project and everything worked fine. Not sure why the configuration can't resolve the globally installed sails as that is the error I was getting, but the local install works fine. I should investigate further, but I'm lazy :)
