How can i debug typescript with ts-node?

[buddhiko1]

It took me three days to try but I still couldn't debug typescript with ts-node.
There is very little documentation about typescript debug configuration.

Has anyone tried it? Can you share the configuration file to help newbies like me？

It's so easy to do so in VS-Code.
I wonder if i should stick with vim, although I have spent a lot of time to learn it.

After a long time of trying, it finally works.
You can debug typescript file directly with ts-node.

This is my configuration：

  -- set console for pure typescript program (e.g. cli program).
  dap.defaults.fallback.external_terminal = {
    command = "/usr/bin/alacritty",
    args = { "-e" },
  }
  dap.defaults.fallback.force_external_terminal = true
  dap.defaults.fallback.terminal_win_cmd = "50vsplit new"
  dap.defaults.fallback.focus_terminal = true
  dap.set_log_level("INFO")

-- depending on your installation location.
local debugger_location = os.getenv("HOME") .. "/Software/vscode-node-debug2"

dap.adapters.node = {
    type = "executable",
    command = "node",
    args = { debugger_location .. "/out/src/nodeDebug.js" },
 }

dap.configurations.typescript = {
  {
    name = "Lanunch Node",
    type = "node",
    request = "launch",
    runtimeArgs = { "-r", "ts-node/register" },
    runtimeExecutable = "node",
    args = { "--inspect", "${file}" },
    skipFiles = { "node_modules/**" },
    console = "integratedTerminal",
  },
}

I got an issue Cannot find module 'src/....', It might be missing require tsconfig-paths, is there any solution?

You have to download vscode-node-debug2.

Thanks.
I'm using it by clearing runtimeArgs and replacing runtimeExecutable with "tsx" to run .ts file as tsx
