I'm using node-debug and know which file and line for which I want to set a breakpoint.
Here's what happens:
debug> setBreakpoint('./services/search.js', 359)
Warning: script './services/search.js' was not loaded yet.
You can't list source code right now
Why can't I "list source code"? How can I add a breakpoint dynamically (without editing the source code to add debugger)?
I tried other tools for debugging, and would love to use Chrome Dev Tools, but don't think it's possible since our project is stuck on v0.12.3.
Also, some options are limited/tricky because I'm using Vagrant with a headless VM.
This is still a problem in node 6.
There is precious little information about it on the net, which is a shame.
However, node --inspect and then using Chrome does work.

Currently Jest in my VSCode uses the --watch parameter (I use the Orta.vscode-jest extension), which mean when I save a file, it will run all tests in uncommitted files.
It's a good default behavior but sometimes my upcoming commit may imply multiple files and I don't want to waste 75% of my time and resources on tests I don't to focus on.
After reading documentation, I found I can turn off the auto-run (see arrow below), so now when saving nothing happens, and I was expecting a way to trigger manually the test I want.
Unfortunately once done it's like if the extension was totally shut down. See below, I have no longer the ability to run tests through the extension.
Do you know a way to solve this? Keeping icon buttons to trigger manually specific tests?
I saw some homemade solution https://stackoverflow.com/a/55279902/3608410 (see Running a selected Jest test in Visual Studio Code) but I feel it's weird since we have a powerful extension already installed.
(maybe I missed something...)
Thank you,
Didn't see that before but if doing a right click in the test file where needed, in the menu I'm able to run a specific test, handy!
Recently, I switched my OS to Ubuntu. I just started with collage and I have to learn pascal for my finals. But a problem occurred.
I installed Visual Studio Code and Pascal extension for it, but I am unable to run even a simple Hello World code. I wrote code, it saved automatically as .pas, but when I enter debug & run option in VSC it displays a message that says 'Open a file which can be debugged or run.', followed by 'debug' and 'run' buttons that I am unable to click and another message that says 'To further configure Debug and Run create a launch.json file.'
I am not even sure am I supposed to post questions such as this one on stackoverflow, but I sincerelly hope that someone could give me a hint on what to do. Solve this within Visual Studio Code or switch to another IDE (and which one would you recommend for Linux user) and pretend that nothing happened?
Thanks in advance.
I know this isn't an answer to "how to debug with pascal with vscode" but, perhaps you would find it easier to just use FPC / Lazarus (IDE) to do your work. While it doesn't have a dark theme, contrary to popular belief, that's not necessary to program.
The IDE is feature packed and allows for full code completion, debugging, etc... (everything you really need to do the work for school).
Additionally, you can use this open source tool to install everything you need for your platform in just a few button clicks (also allows for installing common library packages)
https://github.com/LongDirtyAnimAlf/fpcupdeluxe/releases
download release for your OS
under "FPC Version" & "Lazarus Version" select trunkgit (or stable for an older version)
click the "Install/Update FPC + Lazarus" button
Have you Installed Pascal extension which is available for code to smoothly run pascal code.
If you haven't then try installing this extension using,
Launch VS Code Quick Open (Ctrl+P), paste the following command, and press enter.
ext install alefragnani.pascal
You can always check,
https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=alefragnani.pascal
to install and configure pascal in vscode.
I will direct you to the debugging page from the Visual Studio Code documentation that details how to use the debugger and configure a launch.json file. VSCode is a generic IDE so you need to give it some information about your project before it knows how to run the debugger. This is what launch.json is for.
If I could make a suggestion. When you're learning how to program, it's best to start with the basics. Write a small program in a text editor (VSCode is fine, or Vim, or Nano, or Notepad, or whatever). Save the file. Compile and run the program on the command line.
Once you put an IDE in the mix, you have to learn how to use that as well. If you're stuck on both parts, it can be hard to make progress. That said, it's good to learn how to use the IDE, and you should spend some time reading the documentation and working through some of the examples. It takes some time, but it will pay you back a thousand times when you can work more quickly.
Does anyone know how automatic build systems work in 3083 right now? Because I am struggling to get it to do the right thing. (p.s. I am not an expert st3 customizer so I am probably just doing it wrong.)
My TypeScript.sublime-build file lives in ../Packages/User and contains:
{
"cmd": ["/usr/local/bin/tsc"],
"file_regex": "^(.+?) \\((\\d+),(\\d+)\\): (.+)$",
"selector": "source.TypeScript"
}
When I edit a .ts file the syntax highlighting is for TypeScript and that is also what is displayed in the bottom right corner. So from that I deduce that ST3 is correctly identifying the desired syntax for the file (although I am not sure where that happens.)
When I choose the TypeScript build system by hand and click CMD-B it runs the build and displays the output in the console, as I expected.
When I have "automatic" build system and I open a .ts file or change to a .ts file that was already open, ST3 again correctly identifies the syntax (bottom right in the window.) However when I click CMD-B it runs the last build method that I happened to have used.
I thought that the idea with automatic is that it would choose the build system based on the syntax identified via the file extension.
Does anyone understand this problem or correct my assumptions?
Never figured out the problem. But I fully uninstalled ST3 and reinstalled it, with the package control and typescript packages and nothing more, and now it seems to work. Oh well. I guess not all the bugs are out yet.
I feel like I have been coming the internet for days with absolutely no result.
I have taken some web programming classes, and would like to learn some python, just because programming is wicked interesting altogether, and have run into a fairly large hurdle given my experience.
the problem is this: Python.exe (or is is more properly pythonw.exe?) v3.3.3, running on windows 8.1 used to launch fine. Typed up a simple program to roll various sided die, worked out well. Then I changed the key bindings for 'Run Module' from 'ctrl+f5' to 'crtl+alt+spacebar.'
As soon as I did this IDLE crashed and so did the shell. Now the process will not run AT ALL. I cannot access it through the desktop icon to go back and revert the settings. I also attempted to look at the .def files and change it from there but could not find the 'run module' command. It looked like all the key bindings in the .def files were for the shell.
When I double click, nothing, when I run as admin, nothing. run from the start menu, nothing. I uninstalled and re-installed, rebooted, everything low tech I can think of. Now i'm out of my element and could use one of you brilliant social programmers!!
I've found information about checking with some tool called 'Windows Process Manager' some stuff about what to do with the CMD prompt (something about a path problem ...it intuitivly sounds like I very well could have created a 'path problem' but I'm not 100% I know what that is exactly).
I'm sorry for the lack of links, the pages were farther back in my browsing history than I expected. Hopefully i'm not asking an instant many down vote question here, most of the resources online are for either an older version of windows, Lunix, or an older version of python (which is actually where the path problem hint came from)
Thanks any and all greatly for any time spend reading/answering.
Immensely appreciated.
Find file HOME/.idlerc/config-keys.cfg, where on Win7 HOME would be 'C:/Users/yourloginname', and delete the key binding or, if there is nothing else in the file or nothing you want to keep, the whole file.
If you were to run Idle from a console with python -m idlelib, you would probably see an error message. (Yes, you were probably running with pythonw, as when using the start menu or icon. This works better in 3.4.2 and I am working or more improvements.)
I do not know the specific reason for your crash. I set Zoom-height to --space, restarted, and it works, no problem.
I've been playing with haml and sass and generating a flat site with staticmatic from the command line.
Has anyone been using an ide for this?
I have the Apatana studio (RadRails) plugin installed and it has haml & sass highlighting out of the box. For this site I just want a lightweight script project (no rails).
What type of project would I use, and how would i add something so i could for example, right click the project folder in order to run
staticmatic build [my-project]
(or other) to generate the site from the haml + sass?
I like staticmatic as I can use ruby libraries as helpers.
Happy to take suggestions about any editor. But i am also keen to stick with one editor for everything. (also WTB auto complete).
Cheers
You can run rake tasks from the RadRails IDE, though I didn't manage to get it work. Ruby is probably right choice for the project type. I don't like IDEs because they complicate and slow things down. So my choice is normally Textmate + terminal.
Take a look at Rakefile in this project: https://github.com/adamstac/staticmatic-bootstrap
This isn't exactly what you're asking for...but take a look at a tiny script that I wrote. It will watch directories of your choosing for changes in SCSS and HAML and compile them to html and css. You could make some minor edits to watch.rb if desired, run this in a terminal, and have the site generated without even having to run a command.
PS - if you decide to try this out, you'll need the fssm gem from github or rubygems.org.
A Ruby or Web project type would be most fitting, though I don't think it would matter which in this case.
You can achieve custom commands a number of ways...
You can write up a Rake task in the project Rakefile as Heikki suggested, and then right click and use the Rake menu (as of Studio 3.0.2) to launch that task, or run it inside the embedded Terminal view.
You can write/edit a custom ruble and add a command for launching staticmatic. See http://wiki.appcelerator.org/display/tis/Executing+an+External+Command
You can go the Eclipse route and create an "External Tool Launch configuration" under Run > External Tools. External Tools configuration... > Program. There you can set up a launch to execute some program (say the ruby interpreter or staticmatic script itself) and pass in the argument. Then you can use the run drop-down menu.
