Step-through debugging Node.js functions locally

The following is an example that shows how to debug a Node.js function with Microsoft Visual Studio Code:

[Image NOT FOUND]

To set up Microsoft Visual Studio Code for step-through debugging Node.js functions with the AWS SAM CLI, use the following launch configuration. Before you do this, set the directory where the template.yaml file is located as the workspace root in Microsoft Visual Studio Code:

{
     "version": "0.2.0",
     "configurations": [
         {
             "name": "Attach to SAM CLI",
             "type": "node",
             "request": "attach",
             "address": "localhost",
             "port": 5858,
             // From the sam init example, it would be "${workspaceRoot}/hello-world"
             "localRoot": "${workspaceRoot}/{directory of node app}",
             "remoteRoot": "/var/task",
             "protocol": "inspector",
             "stopOnEntry": false
         }
     ]
 }

Note
The localRoot is set based on what the CodeUri points at in the template.yaml file. If there are nested directories within the CodeUri, that needs to be reflected in the localRoot.

Note
Node.js versions earlier than 7 (for example, Node.js 4.3 and Node.js 6.10) use the legacy protocol, while Node.js versions including and later than 7 (for example, Node.js 8.10) use the inspector protocol. Be sure to specify the corresponding protocol in the protocol entry of your launch configuration. This was tested with Microsoft Visual Studio Code versions 1.26, 1.27, and 1.28 for the legacy and inspector protocols.
