doc: match debugger output & instructions to master behavior #13885

jkrems · 2017-06-23T02:20:22Z

Follow-up to #13777. Updates debugger.md with instructions & output that match behavior in node 8 / master.

Previously the instructions would at best trigger deprecation warnings and at worst fail completely.

If you have not changed the code example below, this should still remain:

3 debugger;

Yeah, I wasn't sure about the exact "order" here. Because it first shows this and then later/below says (emphasis mine):

Inserting the statement debugger; into the source code of a script will
enable a breakpoint at that position in the code:

I interpreted that as "this is showing the original script run, then you insert debugger, then you run it again".

Weird, I'm seeing it on master/this branch:

I also see it on 8.1.2:

I'm taking a TODO to check where the message is generated and why it wouldn't happen consistently. Might be a timing and/or platform issue..?

2 -> 22 (due to copyright added recently):

Interesting. I think the current instruction happened to work because it was smart enough to "shift" beyond the comment. But using 22 is definitely less confusing. 👍

Maybe we also should update the link to redirected one (line 194):

->

I'm LGTM if the nits raised by @vsemozhetbyt are attached - I see the same output as @vsemozhetbyt - without the "Debugger attached." line.

jkrems · 2017-06-23T15:31:19Z

I'm not sure what's up with the "Debugger attached". I'm testing on macOS 10.12.5 if that makes any difference..? Anyhow, the straight-up wrong stuff should be fixed now. :)

cjihrig

LGTM. If the output is different between master and Node 8, then this might need to be adjusted during backporting.

vsemozhetbyt · 2017-06-23T15:58:34Z

I cannot see "Debugger attached" in any recent version for Windows, including the master and canary:

vsemozhetbyt · 2017-06-23T16:14:29Z

There is a small glimpse on the start, so I supposed this line was just rewritten on Windows. I've run this with redirection to a file and even have recorded a video and watched it frame by frame. There are some rewritten lines, but still, no "Debugger attached" among them:

node.8.1.2.v8-5.8.20170615.exe inspect test.js > debug.log:

jkrems · 2017-06-23T16:27:56Z

Interesting. Will investigate what's up on Windows. One possible answer could be stdout vs. stderr -

node/src/inspector_io.cc

Line 396 in 6e2c29b

fprintf(stderr, "Debugger attached.\n");

.

Given current information I suspect this is a bug (?) on Windows. The message should be printed.
