titlePlease note...
You can and are welcome to use any Node.js debugger you prefer with Profound.js; however, this walk-through illustrates using VS Code, as it is one of the more popular, free, and easy to use debuggers for Node.



...

  1. In the VS Code explorer, open 'modules/pjssamples/connect4.js'

  2. When the file is open, set a breakpoint on where you'd like to break the program. You can set a breakpoint by clicking slightly left of the line number you'd like to break on.

  3. Next, start debugging from VS Code and launch the application in your browser using the URL which is shown the debug console.

  4. When the program breaks, VS Code will take focus and the current debugging line of the statement will be highlighted in yellow.


    From here, you are able to step through your module and debug the application.
