Any way of debugging the nodejs code? about capacitor-nodejs HOT 5 OPEN

Unfortunately, these steps are required to get your node.js project running on mobile devices. And if I'm informed correctly, the node.js mobile toolkit doesn't currently support to attach a debugger.

But you could test/debug your node.js part separately from your app by running it locally as a standalone project. You could then use all Node.js debug features. But you'd need to add some kind of a wrapper bridge to simulate the message exchange between the Node.js project and the application.

Wouldn't it be possible to open the debugger port optionally? Or is that not available via the embedded API?

from capacitor-nodejs.

No, unfortunately not.

The nodejs-mobile toolkit, which is used in this project to embed Node.js in mobile applications, doesn't provide the intl (internationalization) module. And since the V8 inspector depends on this module, the inspector/debugger is currently not available, according to the nodejs-mobile documentation. (see https://nodejs-mobile.github.io/docs/api/differences)

I currently use a build with intl (with small icu) so it works fine. The author of nodejs-mobile will likely make a build with intl. It increases the size by 10mb, so he might want to want provide it separately. If you can make it condtional on intl's existence, then I can try it out.

Oh, I didn't know that. Yeah, if there will be a nodejs-mobile build with the intl module enabled / that supports debugging, I'll definitely consider this for the plugin.
