I'm trying to setup a new node application server and I'm finding it frustrating to debug on. Previously I have mainly worked on web based applications/ chrome extensions and I could easily execute javascript functions, api's and access variables from chrome dev tools.

I have tried --inspect and --inspect-brk coupled with Visual Studio Code and also mapping to chrome://inspect/#devices but to no avail; to make matters worse my node code is remote. Can anyone provide any pointers?

  • "Pointers" is too broad. What exactly is the issue that you are having using the debugging tools? The V8 debugging tools should feel very similar to debugging within a browser. Commented Apr 30, 2019 at 19:31
  • Did you initiate an ssh tunnel on your local machine? ssh -L 9221:localhost:9229 [email protected] Commented Apr 30, 2019 at 19:32
  • I have tried the SSH command above, can attach chrome, see my index.js but in console I can't access a variable or function; should I be able to? Thanks Commented Apr 30, 2019 at 19:41
