Not able to debug with VSCode (I think is something related with how angular-cli uses webpack)

[jorgeas80]

Please provide us with the following information:

OS?

Windows 7, 8 or 10. Linux (which distribution). Mac OSX (Yosemite? El Capitan?)

Ubuntu 16.04

Versions.

Please run ng --version. If there's nothing outputted, please run in a Terminal: node --version and paste the result here:

Could not start watchman; falling back to NodeWatcher for file system events.
Visit http://ember-cli.com/user-guide/#watchman for more info.
angular-cli: 1.0.0-beta.16
node: 6.7.0
os: linux x64

Repro steps.

Was this an app that wasn't created using the CLI? What change did you do on your code? etc.

• ng new myapp
• open the project in vscode
• generate a new launch.json file to enable debug. Like this one. Just use port 4200 instead of 3000
• ng serve
• Put breakpoints in the code. They don't work. The chrome instance launchs properly but it doesn't stop in breakpoints.

Tried changing webRoot propery to "${workspaceRoot}/src". and "${workspaceRoot}/src/app". Didn't work either.

The log given by the failure.

Normally this include a stack trace and some more information.

No log, it just breakpoints don't work.

Mention any other details that might be useful.

The same configuration for vscode launch for this repo. You put breakpoints and they work.

If I put "debugger;" at some point of my ts file, VSCode stops at the generated js file, not at the original ts one.

Thanks! We'll be in touch soon.

@jorgeas80 Try the package.json examples proposed here #2453.

Thanks! Finally worked. In a weird way (debugger opens to tabs, and I need to close one of them and then reload the other to make it work). But it works :-). Thanks!
