Configuring Löve2d project with TypescriptToLua about local-lua-debugger-vscode HOT 6 CLOSED

In case it's helpful, my tsconfig.json is as follows:

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "rootDir": "src",
    "outDir": "game",
    "lib": ["esnext"],
    "sourceMap": true,
    "types": [
      "love-typescript-definitions", 
      "lua-types/jit"
    ],
    "downlevelIteration" : true
  },
  "tstl": {
    "noImplicitSelf": true,
    "luaTarget": "JIT",
    "luaLibImport": "require",
    "sourceMapTraceback": true
  },
  "exclude": [
    "resources",
    "game"
  ],
  "include": [ "src" ]
}

I duplicated your setup and found an issue where source map paths weren't correctly handled due to a slight difference in how love passes them to the debugger. I've published a new version with a fix for that issue.

But, you're going to run into the same problem if you store your lua files in subfolders of game, due to a bug in how TypescriptToLua generates source maps: TypeScriptToLua/TypeScriptToLua#855

Thanks @tomblind ! I have confirmed that your fix works for all files located at the source root. And, as you've guessed I have subfolders and for files in those, breakpoints do not trigger.

As a workaround until TypeScriptToLua fixes source map sourceRoots, if I understand your diagnosis correctly, if I opt to transpile in place, at least for debugging, since the lua and ts paths would be the same, breakpoints would work? (I.e. i ditch game/ and generate lua files in place within src/.) Or, do you have any other suggestions for changing config to get things working? I think having a debugger would be a tremendous boon, so happy to change configuration in anyway that enables that!

Yes, I think generating the lua in place with the ts files should work. Although I believe you need to have them all in game for love to find them, right?

I can't think of another way to structure things right now, since the source maps basically lose any sub-path information.

Löve can take any folder at start up (including ./) so changing it to /src for debug should be fine.

I’ll give it a go. Thanks again!

The subfolders issue has been fixed in TSTL (TypeScriptToLua/TypeScriptToLua#859) and was included in the most recent relase (0.33.0) so I'll go ahead and close this issue. Please open new issues if more problems with source maps arrise.
