Debugger won't stop at breakpoints

[aashish108]

Hi, I can't seem to get the debugger to pause at breakpoints; I see the console logs though.

This is the error in the console also: Debugger: error: adapter failed hover evaluation Stack frame not found

But, if I use debugger via Chrome and inspect the Node.js process and leave a breakpoint in Chrome, I see the breakpoint in Sublime Text Debugger.

Any clues as to whats going on here pls? Heres the config I am using:

{
    "folders": [
        {
            "path": "/Users/name/Projects/Web/w-project"
        }
    ],
    "debugger_configurations": [
        {
            "name": "Attach to Node.js",
            "type": "node",
            "request": "attach",
            "port": 9229,
            "address": "localhost",
            "restart": false,
            "localRoot": "${workspaceFolder}",
            "remoteRoot": "/Users/name/Projects/Web/w-project",
            "skipFiles": ["<node_internals>/**"],
            "outFiles": ["dist/**/*.js"],
            "resolveSourceMapLocations": [
				"dist/**/*.js.map",
                "dist/**/*.js"
			]
        }
    ]
}

Debugger: error: adapter failed hover evaluation Stack frame not found is from hovering the mouse over something that looked like an expression its not an issue.

If the breakpoints are gray when you start the debugger then the adapter was unable to verify them. You can hover over the breakpoint and it should have a message from the adapter which may or may not be useful.

My guess would be there is some configuration issue which is not allowing the adapter to determine where to place the breakpoints in the generated source files. I believe resolveSourceMapLocations, outFiles, localRoot, remoteRoot all impact breakpoints but thats a bit beyond my knowledge of how js debug adapter works (https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-js-debug)

Microsoft has a bunch of docs which might help such as https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/nodejs/nodejs-debugging#_source-maps
