I am using ExpressJS and would like to display internal debug messages, like here https://expressjs.com/en/guide/debugging.html.

When I am using this command in VS Code (Windows Powershell) "`set DEBUG=express:*; node ./dist/app.js" it is starting my Node/Express Server, however it does not display any debug messages. Do I have to add something to my code so it works?

CodePudding user response：

"Express uses the debug module internally to log information about route matches, middleware functions that are in use, application mode, and the flow of the request-response cycle." Do you have this package: https://www.npmjs.com/package/debug And there is no semicolon between the statements.

CodePudding user response：

I tried the same in windows command prompt and it worked there just exchanged the semicolon for an ampersand.

set DEBUG=express:* & node ./dist/app.js
