How to debug with IntelliJ/CLion?

[vjpr]

I am wondering if there is a way to step-through the native Rust code from IntelliJ?

With cmake and gyp extensions written in C++/Objective-C I can usually debug with CLion/AppCode.

Is that article help https://rustc-dev-guide.rust-lang.org/debugging-support-in-rustc.html#debuggers ?
I'm not familiar with IntelliJ, so I may not be able to help you

BTW, I know the way step into rust code in VSCode by using vscode-lldb plugin.

// .vscode/launch.json
{
  configurations: [{
      "type": "lldb",
      "request": "launch",
      "sourceLanguages": ["rust"],
      "name": "Debug example",
      "program": "node",
      "args": ["${workspaceFolder}/test.js"],
      "cwd": "${workspaceFolder}"
  }]
}

// test.js
const { test } = require('path/to/addon.node')

test()

You would go stepped into native code successfully.

Didn't work for me

So I was trying to get it to work with the SWC project. I created a new napi-rs project from template, and in CLion it works perfectly. Repro here: https://github.com/vjpr/issue-napi-rs-intellij

• New run configuration
• Custom Build Application
• Exe: path/to/node
• Set working dir
• Pass your JS file as param
• Place breakpoint in src/lib.rs
• Click debug for this run config
• Should work

So I'm thinking its something to do with how SWC is setup or how I am running things.
