Summary

Debugging is crucial in software development, and while console.log is commonly used, employing a debugger can enhance efficiency, particularly when working with Bit components. This guide details using VSCode's debugging tools to debug a Bit workspace, offering a step-by-step walkthrough for tailoring the process to user needs. It begins with opening VSCode's debug panel and creating a launch configuration file if needed. The guide explains each parameter of the launch configuration, such as specifying the Node.js debugging session type, the Bit CLI executable path, and handling source maps. Users are instructed to save the launch.json file, start a debugging session by entering commands without the bit prefix, and resolve any Node.js version compatibility issues using a version manager like NVM to switch to a compatible version.
