I need to debug my node program by launching server.js first (not server.ts). This means, I want my typescript compiled first, but I don't want it to stop (abort) on typescript errors that I will fix later. Now, webstorm stops when I try and debug.

How can I make it keep going?

  • Just an idea: in your build step do tsc ... || true? Commented Feb 14, 2019 at 22:25
  • Debugging is not terminated because of compiler errors, so I have no idea what you are talking about. Please record a video that shows your issue Commented Feb 15, 2019 at 12:25

Did you add typescript compiler to Before launch section of your run configuration? If yes, you need to disable Check errors in Typescript compiler settings there, otherwise the application won't be launched if compiler errors are reported:

I did what you suggest, I see "compiling typescript" go by in my status bar, yet it does not compile my root file server.ts. I know this because if I change that file, then debug, the old server.js is being used. When I manually tsc server.ts, debug again, I get the new one.
works for me - changed files are re-compiled when running the debug configuration
You are JetBrains? Can I create a ticket through webstorm and let you know a link to it? I'd want to make it a private ticket as I'm not ready to publish to the world my source at the moment
sure, please create a support ticket - all information you provide there will be kept private

You can disable tslint for your js file. https://palantir.github.io/tslint/usage/rule-flags/.

Other option, is convert server.js to server.ts and add some typings, and compile this to js file.

I want the errors, I just want the WebStorm to start debugging even though there are TypeScript errors. That is, typescript errors that don't prevent the JavaScript from working correctly. For example, when I enter the command ts-node server.ts, my app runs, but when I try to debug with webstorm, it does not.
