Universal: there is no way to debug when running with ssr-dev-server

[hakobpogh]

Hi there. Before angular v9 I was using the nodemon for running ssr in dev environment but after the v9 I've switched to use @nguniversal/builders:ssr-dev-server. And now I'm unable to debug the server or ssr code.

Is there any way I can pass any argument to @nguniversal/builders:ssr-dev-server to make it run in the inspect mode?

It'll be better to see it there.

That’s seems like an oversight. Thanks for pointing this out.

I’ll look at this in a the coming days

Any news on this? It would be nice to be able to debug with vscode. Thanks !

Same happens to me !! it would be nice to have a guideline to proper config debug settings for node code, having universal as engine.

Hi @alan-agius4 !! How are you?? I would like to know if you have an example of how to configure the VSCode debugger to run the app (ng run my-app:serve-ssr) in inspect mode. Thanks!!

@tincho-despegar, here's the vs configuration needed.

        {
            "type": "node",
            "request": "attach",
            "name": "Debug SSR Server",
            "port": 9229,
            "skipFiles": [
                "<node_internals>/**"
            ]
        }
    ]
}

To run the server application in inspect mode you can use the below;

yarn dev:ssr --inspect
