HELP with debug API on Windows 11

[drossi-dg]

Hi Guys!

This is my situation: I could set up locally all docker images and run containers with docker compose on terminal. Then, I see the containers on Docker Desktop app and I can use the API, Frontend, etc.

The problem is that I need to debug the API and I follow de documentation but I can't debug (I'm using Visual Studio code on Windows 11)

For example, if I try to start only (not debug) API, y execute npm run start but API is down. Only I can start API with Docker Desktop.

Does anyone know how I can do it? Thank you!

Hi drossi-dg,

easy way to do this is to run the application and attach debugger to api server running in the docker compose container using Docker: Attach to API Container debug configuration in VS Code.

Hey Samuel, thank for your answer. I'm going to research about Docker: Attach to API Container debug configuration in VS Code.
