How to debug using vite-node in VSCode?

[cjnoname]

Hi,

We plan to switch from ts-node to vite-node.

Currently, we have set up the following in our vscode settings:
"debug.javascript.autoAttachFilter": "smart"

It works well with Nodemon + ts-node, automatically adding the debugger when running a script.

We've tried several times to achieve the same goal with vite-node but haven't had any luck.

Could any experts help with this?

Additionally, we want to run ESLint as part of the watch restart. Any ideas?

Thanks!

Why do you want to switch to vite-node specifically? If you don't rely on custom Vite plugins, I would recommend using tsx instead. vite-node is softly deprecated, and we are considering deprecating it fully after Vite 6 is released since its API is migrated there.

does tsx also support HMR?
