Debug zx script in vscode

[pguardiario]

Is it possible to debug a zx script in vscode? Can anyone post a launch.json for reference?

What works for me is using the JavaScript Debug Terminal.
then i just run zx .mjs

• Create a node project and add zx to the dependencies.
• Add import "zx/globals" in the script when debugging;
• Then you can debug like a normal node project.

example: https://github.com/TBXark/github-backup/blob/master/package.json

I managed to get it working by starting with the standard Node.js configuration, and then setting the runtimeExcecutable to zx, and the program to the path of my zx script.

So this is my launch.json:

{
    "version": "0.2.0",
    "configurations": [
        {
            "type": "node",
            "request": "launch",
            "name": "zx launcher",
            "skipFiles": [
                "<node_internals>/**"
            ],
            "runtimeExecutable": "${env:HOME}/.asdf/shims/zx",
            "program": "${workspaceFolder}/../../bin/cleanup-branches.spec.mjs"
        }
    ]
}
