IDEA 14 - debugging typescript
You have to install Jetbrains IDE Support extension for Chrome (I also allowed this extension on incognito - chrome://extensions) and a plugin named Javascript Debugger for Intellij Idea or Webstorm (it needs Spy-js and NodeJs plugins to be enabled also).
After that you just have to do a right click on your project's .html file and click on 'Debug your-html.html'
Update: Sourcemap files are needed to debug, while compiling typescript --sourcemap option must be set.
I just ran into this. However I am not working on a frontend project.. but it might help just as well.
To debug in intellij, I first compile my typescript files.
- I defined tsconfig.json
- I used
tsc -p tsconfig.jsonto compile.
To make debugging work I did the following
Added
"sourceMap": trueto tsconfig.jsonI ran the compiled
jsfile==> debug just works when I put a breakpoint in the
tsfile.
Let me know if this does not resolve your scenario, I will investigate an modify the answer.
This is the project I am working on for reference: https://github.com/coder-on-deck/easy-typescript-setup
