SAP Business Application Studio CAP project (node.js) debug issue

SumitKundu — Fri, 16 Oct 2020 12:06:30 GMT

Debugger does not get auto-attach to the running node server, so I am not able to stop at the breakpoint set in server.js file. I used with a fresh project also by 'cds init ..".

The default launch.json file has error as shown below.

1. 'command is not allowed'

2. type node-terminal is not a recognized debug-type.

Hi,

You can create a CAP Node run configuration via the Run Configurations view, and debug your application using it.

See https://developers.sap.com/tutorials/appstudio-cap-app.html Step 6.

Thanks,

Thanks that worked. Anyway, I still expect some pairity between the launch config generated from BAS graphical run config wizard and the one created by default from cds cli.

I agree. The default configuration should work by default as well. We will look into that.

Thanks,

Hi,

joerg.mann the default configuration is generated by the cds generator.
Could you please take a look at the described issue?

Thanks,

Liat
