Unable to debug under windows

[TimBoonstra]

Describe the Bug

I've been trying to get debugging to work onder windows with Visual Studio Code using the V3 beta with the demo website.

I've installed v3 using:
pnpm dlx [email protected]
SQL Lite as DB with de demo site and seeded trough the admin panel.

Modified the .vscode launch.json to use pnpm dev instead of yarn dev:

"configurations": [
   {
     "command": "pnpm dev",
     "name": "Debug Website",
     "request": "launch",
     "type": "node-terminal"
   }

and set brakepoints on most page.tsx files / functions in src/app/(frontend)/ and sub folders . however i never hit any of the breakpoints :(
I've also tried this on 2 seperate pc's, one with normal npm but running into the same problem.

i've also tried nextjs example json :

{
  "version": "0.2.0",
  "configurations": [
    {
      "name": "Next.js: debug server-side",
      "type": "node-terminal",
      "request": "launch",
      "command": "pnpm run dev"
    },
    {
      "name": "Next.js: debug client-side",
      "type": "chrome",
      "request": "launch",
      "url": "http://localhost:3000"
    },
    {
      "name": "Next.js: debug full stack",
      "type": "node",
      "request": "launch",
      "program": "${workspaceFolder}/node_modules/.bin/next",
      "runtimeArgs": ["--inspect"],
      "skipFiles": ["<node_internals>/**"],
      "serverReadyAction": {
        "action": "debugWithEdge",
        "killOnServerStop": true,
        "pattern": "- Local:.+(https?://.+)",
        "uriFormat": "%s",
        "webRoot": "${workspaceFolder}"
      }
    }
  ]
}

But no brakepoints are ever hit.

Can the documentation / demo website be updated with debugging settings for windows.

I've been trying to debug for a while now, and could not get it working.

Hey all, this is more of a Next.js question at this point than a Payload question because we don't have any specific startup command of our own. It's just next dev.

I would defer to Next.js debugging for more information here, but I will convert this to a discussion so that we can talk about solutions here on the Payload repo as well. If anyone comes across a solution, please share it! We will report back if we do as well.
