Can't debug Server Typescript in an Angular SSR project

[alan-agius4]

To debug SSR, you need to use the Node.js inspector. Run the command node --inspect-brk node_modules/.bin/ng serve. I discussed this with @clydin yesterday, and we decided to add an option in ng serve to automatically include the inspector.

Thanks for your reply @alan-agius4.
I would like to debug server.ts, which is the entry point for my API routes.
Would debugging the ng serve process let me achieve that?
From what I understand, ng serve doesn't use server.ts at all. Correct?

I've just tried node --inspect-brk node_modules/.bin/ng serve on a new ssr project and all I see is
Debugger listening on ws://127.0.0.1:9229/dc4150f4-c734-437b-8f2a-7f0acec721cc For help, see: https://nodejs.org/en/docs/inspector
But it doesn't serve anything and the debugger isn't stopping on any breakpoints.

It's similar to #26323

Correct, in that case you need to use node --inspect-brk dist/<project>/server/server.mjs

But it doesn't serve anything and the debugger isn't stopping on any breakpoints.

Are you attaching to the inspector process from your IDE? There are a large number resources online on how you can debug a Node.js application using various IDEs.
