Getting Started

Once yo docker and VS Code are installed, here's the few steps to debug your first app

Node.js

  • From the root of your project, where your server.js file exists, open a bash or powershell window
yo docker
  • Answer the prompts, including your image name
  • Open the file you wish to debug and set a breakpoint
  • From VS Code, open the command palette (Mac: [⌘] + [P], Windows: [CTRL] + [P])
  • Enter: task composeForDebug This will compose your containers using the dockerTask.sh script
  • [F5] to start the node debugger within the container
  • As we use nodemon -L --debug-brk, the debugger will break on the first line of your main file, so that you can debug the initialization of your app

DotNet Core

  • From the root of your project open a bash or powershell window
yo docker
  • Answer the prompts, including your image name
  • Open the file you wish to debug and set a breakpoint
  • [F5] to start the .NET Core debugger within the container

Q&A

  • Q: Are you building an abstraction layer over docker apis?
    • A: No. These are your scripts. We're simply providing a starting point that docker developers would write themselves. These scripts are based on customers we've been working with.
  • Q: Are you taking feedback?
