nvim-dap-vscode-js

nvim-dap adapter for vscode-js-debug.

Adapters

Every platform supported by vscode is provided. This includes:

Adapter	Platform	Support
pwa-node	Node.js	Full
pwa-chrome	Chrome	Partial1
pwa-msedge	Edge	Untested
node-terminal	Node.js	Untested
pwa-extensionHost	VSCode Extensions	Untested

Installation

Plugin

Supports packer, vim-plug, etc. With packer, for example:

use { "mxsdev/nvim-dap-vscode-js", requires = {"mfussenegger/nvim-dap"} }

Debugger

You must download and build a copy of vscode-js-debug in order to use this plugin.

With Packer

use {
  "microsoft/vscode-js-debug",
  opt = true,
  run = "npm install --legacy-peer-deps && npx gulp vsDebugServerBundle && mv dist out" 
}

Manually

git clone https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-js-debug
cd vscode-js-debug
npm install --legacy-peer-deps
npx gulp vsDebugServerBundle
mv dist out

Note: The upstream build process has changed sometime since the creation of this repo. If the above scripts don't work, please make sure you're using the latest version of vscode-js-debug. Otherwise, feel free to file an issue!

Setup

require("dap-vscode-js").setup({
  -- node_path = "node", -- Path of node executable. Defaults to $NODE_PATH, and then "node"
  -- debugger_path = "(runtimedir)/site/pack/packer/opt/vscode-js-debug", -- Path to vscode-js-debug installation.
  -- debugger_cmd = { "js-debug-adapter" }, -- Command to use to launch the debug server. Takes precedence over `node_path` and `debugger_path`.
  adapters = { 'pwa-node', 'pwa-chrome', 'pwa-msedge', 'node-terminal', 'pwa-extensionHost' }, -- which adapters to register in nvim-dap
  -- log_file_path = "(stdpath cache)/dap_vscode_js.log" -- Path for file logging
  -- log_file_level = false -- Logging level for output to file. Set to false to disable file logging.
  -- log_console_level = vim.log.levels.ERROR -- Logging level for output to console. Set to false to disable console output.
})

for _, language in ipairs({ "typescript", "javascript" }) do
  require("dap").configurations[language] = {
    ... -- see below
  }
end

Note that if vscode-js-debug was installed without packer, its root folder location must be set manually in debugger_path.

Configurations

See here for all custom configuration options.

Node.js

{
  {
    type = "pwa-node",
    request = "launch",
    name = "Launch file",
    program = "${file}",
    cwd = "${workspaceFolder}",
  },
  {
    type = "pwa-node",
    request = "attach",
    name = "Attach",
    processId = require'dap.utils'.pick_process,
    cwd = "${workspaceFolder}",
  }
}

Jest²

{
  {
    type = "pwa-node",
    request = "launch",
    name = "Debug Jest Tests",
    -- trace = true, -- include debugger info
    runtimeExecutable = "node",
    runtimeArgs = {
      "./node_modules/jest/bin/jest.js",
      "--runInBand",
    },
    rootPath = "${workspaceFolder}",
    cwd = "${workspaceFolder}",
    console = "integratedTerminal",
    internalConsoleOptions = "neverOpen",
  }
}

You may also want to check out neotest-jest, which supports this plugin out of the box.

Mocha

{
  {
    type = "pwa-node",
    request = "launch",
    name = "Debug Mocha Tests",
    -- trace = true, -- include debugger info
    runtimeExecutable = "node",
    runtimeArgs = {
      "./node_modules/mocha/bin/mocha.js",
    },
    rootPath = "${workspaceFolder}",
    cwd = "${workspaceFolder}",
    console = "integratedTerminal",
    internalConsoleOptions = "neverOpen",
  }
}

Planned Features

• Integration with neotest-jest
• Support for switching between child sessions

Credits

I would like to say a huge thank you to Jens Claes, whose dotfiles this plugin is based off of, and to all members who contributed to this issue - the insight gained from this was paramount to the success of this project.
