  2. Open CoreIDE.
  3. Open your project.
  4. Go to Run/Debug tab.
  5. Click on Add (+) button it will open a new window. Here you can create your new run/debug configuration.
  6. Go to JavaScript tab in the new window.
    debug java
  7. Enter unique configuration name.
  8. Enter the command for example “node output.js --inspect-brk”. Make sure that your Node.js installation bin path is configured properly in system environment variables otherwise you will need to enter full path of the node installation.
  9. Check TypeScript checkbox.
  10. Enter the path for compiled/output JavaScript file and mapping file.
  11. Configure other fields as needed.
  12. Click on Save button.
  13. Now you can select your configuration from the dropdown and click on Run or Debug buttons to start.
