## Debugging

To debug lambdas, prepend the `serve` command with [npm's package runner npx](https://medium.com/@maybekatz/introducing-npx-an-npm-package-runner-55f7d4bd282b) `npx --node-arg=--inspect netlify-lambda serve ...`. Additionally:
To debug lambdas, you can use the `--inspect` flag. Additionally:

1. make sure that sourcemaps are built along the way (e.g. in the webpack configuration and the `tsconfig.json` if typescript is used)
2. webpack's uglification is turned off with `optimization: { minimize: false }`. If using VSCode, it is likely that the `sourceMapPathOverrides` have to be adapted for breakpoints to work.
2. webpack's minification/uglification is turned off with `optimization: { minimize: false }`. If using VSCode, it is likely that the `sourceMapPathOverrides` have to be adapted for breakpoints to work.
