sourcemap support for node debugger

[mattkime]

i'd really like to see sourcemap support for the node debugger.

[bnoordhuis]

#6471 is related but is about full source map support (which is unlikely in the near future because of performance issues, but that's less of an issue for the debugger.)

Can you expand on what exactly you would like the debugger to support?

@ofrobots ... just out of curiosity, would #6792 bring along source maps support? Not critical by any means, just curious.

[mattkime]

forgive my naive request - i'd like to be able to step through code with sourcemaps through the command line debugger

Yes, everything you have in Chrome DevTools is available.

@repenaxa ... thank you for the clarification.
@mattkime ... you may want to follow #6792. While it's not the command line debugger, it might provide at least a little of what you're looking for tho it might be a bit before it lands. As @bnoordhuis indicates, source map support is not likely something that we'll get into the command line debugger any time soon.

[mattkime]

it sounds like my request is being addressed in other tickets. thank you!

Now that we've removed the internal debugger in favor of a Inspector-based one, is this issue still reproducible?

Closing due to inactivity. If it's still an issue please comment or (if GitHub allows you to do so) re-open.

How can you close it as "completed"? That's total BS. If you close it as "we won't do it", that at least would make sense. The Node CLI debugger does not yet support source maps. Very disappointing.
