Missing CLI functions & missing web browser debug

[elementalTIMING]

Hi,

I tried the new CLI tool and it's really nice so far. But how can I get access to the described features, like 'pack' and 'validate'? It's described in the README on GitHub but the features are missing in the package. E.g.

streamdeck pack
error: unknown command 'pack'

Further and more important: how to debug in the browser? The plugin is not shown when accessing http://localhost:23654/. This worked in the "legacy style", but how to get t to work now? The problem is: no browser debug -> no plugin debug -> no new plugin.

UPDATE
meanwhile I found out that the browser inspector just works, when a in the Elgato Stream Deck desktop software is selected BEFORE opening the url http://localhost:23654. A bit strange to work with!

NEW Question
is there any example for the Property Inspector working with the new TypeScript plugin template?

Please help! Thx!

Hey Lars,

pack command

The pack and validate commands are currently released under the @beta pre-release identifier; to access these, you can install the beta version via npm:

npm install -g @elgato/cli@beta

Debugging

Debugging Node.js plugins is configurable via the new Nodejs manifest option (read more), specifically the Nodejs.Debug value.

One significant advantage of Node.js plugins is that you can now debug them from within your IDE! With the plugin running, in VS Code:

1. Open the command palette (Ctrl + P on Windows).
2. Enter > Debug: Attach to Node Process.
3. Select the plugin from the dropdown (the process name will be node20.

Alternatively, debugging from within the browser is still possible via listening to the port number. More information on debugging Node.js plugins in the browser can be found on Node.js' Debugging Node.js page.

Property Inspector

The property inspector is currently in development for the new SDK; we'll be sharing more in the coming weeks, so keep a eye on our Makers Discord for the latest announcements.
