Debugging

Use the VSCode debugger to debug your bot

1. Create the .vscode/launch.json file at your project root directory if the file do not already exists
2. Install ts-node as a dev dependency

npm

npm install --save-dev ts-node

Yarn

yarn add --dev ts-node

pnpm

pnpm add --save-dev ts-node

3. Copy paste this into your launch.json file

.vscode/launch.json

{
  // Use IntelliSense to learn about possible attributes.

  "version": "0.2.0",
  "configurations": [
    {
      "type": "node",
      "request": "launch",
      "name": "Debug bot",
      "protocol": "inspector",
      "args": ["${workspaceRoot}/PATH_TO_YOUR_MAIN.ts"],
      "cwd": "${workspaceRoot}",
      "runtimeArgs": ["-r", "ts-node/register"],
      "internalConsoleOptions": "neverOpen"
    }
  ]
}

4. You can now put some breakpoints, go to the debug tab in VSCode and launch your bot
