Problem debugging server side code

[vwbij]

I am looking for problems in the mathjax plugin and want to debug the server side. I am running the test EP server for now on WIN7/32. I have set loglevel to "DEBUG" and have integrated node debugging into "start.bat":

[node --inspect=0.0.0.0:9229 node_modules\ep_etherpad-lite\node\server.js]

It seems that I am able to attach to the EP server process using "chrome://inspect", it shows the process, and I am able to open a inspector window. It seems also that "Visual Studio Code" is able to connect, it shows messages and loaded JS files if "start.bat" is called from the VS shell.
But I can not

• Break in a function.
• "console.log" and "debugger;" is not working in the mathjax "shared.js" file that is surely loaded by the server.

Please tell me how I can start examining the server process using debug tools.

Thank You and all the Best,

I have seen now I can attach the chrome debugger and found the commandline arg to stop the execution until debugger is present. But as far as I can see the server side plugins seems to run in another 'process' (or thread) where my debugger is not attached. So the question is: how can I attach the debugger to the other server module where the plugins are present?
