We recommend using the Visual Studio Code (VS Code) IDE for your plugin development. Included in the .vscode
directory of this plugin is a launch.json
config file, which allows you to attach a debugger to the node process when running your commands.
To debug the hello:org
command:
- Start the inspector
If you linked your plugin to the sfdx cli, call your command with the dev-suspend
switch:
$ sfdx hello:org -u myOrg@example.com --dev-suspend
Alternatively, to call your command using the bin/run
script, set the NODE_OPTIONS
environment variable to --inspect-brk
when starting the debugger:
$ NODE_OPTIONS=--inspect-brk bin/run hello:org -u myOrg@example.com
- Set some breakpoints in your command code
- Click on the Debug icon in the Activity Bar on the side of VS Code to open up the Debug view.
- In the upper left hand corner of VS Code, verify that the "Attach to Remote" launch configuration has been chosen.
- Hit the green play button to the left of the "Attach to Remote" launch configuration window. The debugger should now be suspended on the first line of the program.
- Hit the green play button at the top middle of VS Code (this play button will be to the right of the play button that you clicked in step #5).
Congrats, you are debugging!
