Debugging nodejs Mocha tests just "closes explicitly" and does not hit any break points
I am running some simple mocha tests in Nodejs. I want to debug them but none of my breakpoints are hit and I just get a message stating that the process was closed explicitly.
Please sign in to leave a comment.
Please can you share the project that shows up the issue? what run configuration do you use for debugging?
I run into this as well in one of my nodejs projects using typescript.
I suddenly made it work, yet I am not sure which, if any, of my steps was the actual solution.
I was using typescript so I enabled the sourceMap in the compilerOptions in the tsconfig.json.
I changed my test execution from `npm` to `mocha`.
In the mocha setting I went for "All in directory" and provided relative path to test folder.
I added a before launch command, as I need to compile the typescript first.
Now the breakpoints are working again.
