Hi,

I was wondering if it’s possible to debug Edge functions in VS Code like it is with standard Lambda functions?

I can’t get seem to get the debugger to hit. The CLI did tell me it was going to make a change to my VS Code config but then nothing seemed to change. Is this a known issue? Is this my side?

Thanks,

Jamie

Hey @jsaunders92,

The team has prioritized this as we see how this could be helpful to the users. We’d probably be creating some documentation or guides about it. We haven’t ironed out the specifics yet, and thus, it will take some time, and we’d post an update once we’ve got there.

Unfortunately, we don’t have anything immediate to share at the moment.
