How do you debug the macros?

I was reading: https://github.com/embroider-build/embroider/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md and I had tried:

JOBS=1 NODE_OPTIONS="--inspect-brk" ember s

with a debugger in the dependency-satisifies file (in node modules, js, compiled), but it seems babel ran in another thread.

How do you debug that part of that build?

This is the right instructions, but probably you were hitting the persistent babel cache so the code was not being run.

You can rm -rf $TMPDIR/embroider first to eliminate the cache.

Trying to get a debugger going now to see what's going on with: https://github.com/embroider-build/embroider/issues/1066 but,

using:

 rm -rf /tmp/embroider/ && JOBS=1 NODE_OPTIONS="--inspect-brk" ember s

even though nothing is running on this port before I run the command, I get this error upon starting:

Starting inspector on 127.0.0.1:9229 failed: address already in use

so... trying with

❯ rm -rf /tmp/embroider/ && JOBS=1 NODE_OPTIONS="--inspect-brk=0.0.0.0:9000" ember s

still gets a similar error:

Starting inspector on 0.0.0.0:9000 failed: address already in use

So, I think JOBS=1 maybe is insufficient?

maybe there is another way to single-thread or maybe a way to spawn multiple debuggers?

If you debug with vscode this is all very automatic. The instructions I use are:

1. Launch a "Javascript debug terminal".
2. Run "ember s" in that terminal.

That's it. It doesn't even need JOBS because it follows child processes correctly.

that sounds awesome and easy and I wish neovim had something that did that -- I may use that for all ember debugging if I can get this working.

I'm still somehow unable to hit my breakpoints in dependency-satisfies.js :thinking:

Anything look out of the ordinary to you? (I deleted /tmp/embroider first)

[ef4]

That looks correct. Did you also remove the cache? That is still a potential blocker.

[NullVoxPopuli]

Did you also remove the cache?

at /tmp/embroider, yea :cry:

Got this to work on my personal machine with local ember, rather than the globally installed one. ../node_modules/.bin/ember

That's it. It doesn't even need JOBS because it follows child processes correctly.

How I wish this statement was true. Spent the day trying to get a breakpoint to bind in VSCode, to try ascertain why @ember/render-modifiers is causing glimmer to throwing Error: Invalid modifier manager compatibility specified... again! 2022 has not been kind so far 🤣

I've tried ember s and ./node_modules/ember-cli/bin/ember s in a Javascript debug terminal, several variations of launch and attach configurations, dredged up from forums and none of it works for me.

@NullVoxPopuli can you share your setup for this please?

Nine times out of ten, when people have a problem with dependencySatisfies it's because dependencySatisfies is faithfully reporting that NPM or yarn have given them an invalid node_modules structure.

cd into the copy of render-modifiers that is failing and run node -e 'console.log(require.resolve("ember-source/package.json"))'. That will tell you which copy of ember-source, if any, render-modifiers is seeing.
