Spent 2 days trying to debug Node server in SSR mode, help please

[MaximSemenov]

Hello, I have a project in Quasar SSR mode. I like it a lot and I appreciate all the work community has done. But it was hard to get through the documentation honestly.

Now my last step is I need somehow to debug server code NodeJs. Anything I tried did not work I simply do not see anything that Quasar run Server in debug mode. I've been working without Node debugger but it is very hard and I need to resole this. I hope for any help.

My setup is Quasar runs in dev mode quasar dev -m ssr with TypeScript & Vite and I'm able to debug client side but not server side. I need a debugger simply for Chrome DevTools like any other SSR framework works. Like Nuxt for example. I've tried do it manually with no luck like so (command from package.json) "dev:ssr-debugp-old": "node --inspect-brk -r esbuild-register src-ssr/server.ts".

Does even Quasar in SSR mode allow us to run a Node debugger in Chrome DevTools? Thanks.

p.s. I'm possible missing something simple but I was not able to find anything

I don't actually use this myself, but:
quasar build -m ssr --debug
https://quasar.dev/quasar-cli-vite/commands-list#build

And then run the generated files with node --inspect-brk ./dist/server/server-entry.js.

Otherwise, try running the command from VSCode (https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/nodejs/nodejs-debugging).

I believe there is no built-in argument or configuration. But you can use the usual Node way. You can use NODE_OPTIONS to pass extra Node arguments. So, for example, you can do this:

NODE_OPTIONS='--inspect' quasar dev -m ssr

You can then use Node debugging from Developer Tools
