Debugging

Plugin

• run extension
  • launch the Run Extnesion build task (copied below for reference)

    {
      "name": "Run Extension",
      "type": "extensionHost",
      "request": "launch",
      "runtimeExecutable": "${execPath}",
      "args": [
        "--disable-extensions",
        "--extensionDevelopmentPath=${workspaceFolder}"
      ],
      "outFiles": [
        "${workspaceFolder}/out/**/*.js"
      ],
      "env": {
        "STAGE": "dev",
        "VSCODE_DEBUGGING_EXTENSION": "dendron"
      }
    },

Breakpoints

Note that we currently have trouble setting breakpoints inside non-plugin code. That goes for the packages that Dendron depends on (eg. @dendronhq/common-all). The current workaround is to manually add a debugger; statement inside the code. The extension will hit it when restarted under the debugger.

Verbose Logs

• set in dendorn.workspace.config

"dendron.logLevel": "debug",

Server

Normally, Dendron will launch an express server at a random port. To debug the server:

1. Launch the server using the build task api-server:test launch server
2. Update the workspace settings of Dendron to use a running server through the following workspace setting dendron.serverPort": 3005
3. Reload the workspace for the settings to take affect
