How to run controller code in debugger?

[olavt]

I'm new to Typescript / Node.

What are the minimum steps to get a controller up and running in a debugger (using either VS Code or VS 2022)? I just want to test including a new node. I have a Silicon Labs UZB7 connected to a Windows 11 computer. I have installed Node / Typescript and I can run simple console apps from VS 2022, but not sure on how to run the Z-Wave JS project.

The minimum would be the run.ts script in the test folder which I use for debugging. There's a debug task "Debug locally" (or sth like that) you can execute in VSCode.

How do I fix this?

I don't actually need a full UI. Basically, I just need to send the driver a simple command to get the controller into inclusion mode (ADD_NODE_START).

"In the script you'll have to write code to interact with the driver"

Are you refering to the block of code inside this block in run.ts?

node.once("ready", async () => {
...
});

About the dependency issue, you might want to read https://zwave-js.github.io/node-zwave-js/#/development/intro

Your code should go into the once("driver ready"... block. You can delete the rest in there.

I have it up and running now. Had to disable some eslint errors related to cr characters at the end of each line. Guess it's a Linux / Windows issue. Maybe the eslintrc.js should be fixed to avoid this in the first place? I also had to run "yarn run build" from the command prompt (after unblocking yarn.ps1), since VS Code otherwise complained that yarn.ps1 was unsigned (security issue). I now only miss the beginInclusion code in order to start the inclusion process. I have posted another question on that.
