Debugger not getting attached to the tns run/emulate command

[anshulguleria]

Hi,
I am using tns --version = 1.2.4
As it is documented here: https://docs.nativescript.org/runtimes/ios/debug/Debug
I was using the --debug-brk for emulator.
tns emulate android --debug-brk but no browser(default) was getting triggered with debugger port.

Alternatively,
I ran tns emulate android --justlaunch and then tns debug android --start --log trace in the end of logs, I was able to get the port number. But when I opened the url: http://localhost:8080/debug?port=<<port_no>> There were no source files.

Also when I ran tns debug android --getPort It returns port number as 0(for error). Don't know why this is happening.

Log output for tns debug android --start --log trace:

Hi @anshulguleria,

tns emulate android --debug-brk doesn't show debug tools by desing. You need to use tns debug android --emulator --debug-brk command.

tns debug android --getPort command was broken in 1.2.4 release but it was fixed in 1.3.0 release. You need to update your {N} CLI.

@Fatme Thanks. Updating to new version does fixes some problems. There is one more thing the default browser dosen't gets triggered when --debug-brk option is used. Although I was able to get the port number from tns debug android --getPort command.

Also --log trace command is not working now. It gives error:

@anshulguleria currently {N} CLI tries to open chrome but you have chromium. I suspect that this causes the problem. Can you verify that the name of chromium process is chrome?
Also {N} CLI has an option to specify debug ui from config file. But this works only on OSX. I've extended this functionality so you'll be able to specify debug ui on linux and windows as well. Here is the PR: #972
