Been trying to use Live Lambda for the first time (unit tests finally failed to replicate a problem). The documentation here shows to use

npx sst start

and then shows how to set breakpoints in various IDEs - but with the Lambdas running from the shell the IDE breakpoints don't do anything. Doesn't

sst

need to be run from within the IDE?

Hey @Adam Fanello you mean the breakpoints are not triggerd?

IntelliJ. No, why would the breakpoints trigger on an application run from the terminal? There has to be a way to attach the IDE to that process.

Ah yup, you’d have to create a Run Configuration. Here’s an example https://serverless-stack.com/examples/how-to-debug-lambda-functions-with-intellij-idea.html

Looks like that would work. The main documentation should link over to that (and I presume examples for other IDEs). It does ignore AWS credentials when running like this. I presume that works if using the default profile but I'll have to copy my temporary credential environment variables into the run configuration each day. That may be worth pointing out.

The doc is linking to the example, let me make the link more visible 👀

Yes, but I'm using temporary credentials not profiles, so would be the AWS_SESSION_TOKEN etc.

Hey @Adam Fanello, just circling back on this, did u manage to get

sst start

to fire up?

Ah, I haven't had reason to try again. I resolved the problem that led me to want to try to set a breakpoint.

Got it. Yeah feel free to DM me or @thdxr if you are blocked by this again in the future. And we can jump on a zoom call to sort it out.
