I can not debug a server-side TypeScript application with Node.js.
Answered
I am struggling to debug a server-side TypeScript application with Node.js. I have followed the instructions provided here.
But the problem is that IntelliJ is ignoring the breakpoints I set up in my TypeScript code. However, it does recognise the ones I have set up in the JavaScript code.
I use the command "tsc" for compiling TypeScript code into JavaScript code. But I also tried to use the TypeScript widget on the Status bar with no luck.
For further information, here is my "Run/Debug configuration":
I also tried with WebStorm and I have exactly the same problem.

I also tried the "Attach to Node.js/Chrome" approach, as specified there.
So I run my app using a npm configuration with the "--inspect" Node option in debug mode:
Then I also run a "Attach to Node.js/Chrome" configuration in debug mode too:
But unfortunately the problem is exactly the same.
The breakpoints I set up in my TypeScript code are simply ignored, when the one I have set up in the JavaScript code are recognised.
This should work if the sourcemaps are there. what does your tsconfig.json look like?
Thank you for the suggestion, indeed this was the problem!
I was not using sourcemaps. So I was able to fix the issue by adding the sourceMap option to my tsconfig.json file.
Thanks!
Great, thanks for letting me know!
