Debugging in Visual Studio Code

This package can also be used with Visual Studio Code's built-in debugging tools. You just need to add a launch.json to the project containing your local action. The following can be used as an example.

{
  "version": "0.2.0",
  "configurations": [
    {
      "name": "Debug Local Action",
      "type": "node",
      "request": "launch",
      "runtimeExecutable": "local-action",
      "cwd": "${workspaceRoot}",
      "args": [".", "src/main.ts", ".env"],
      "console": "integratedTerminal",
      "skipFiles": ["<node_internals>/**", "node_modules/**"]
    }
  ]
}

In the args section, make sure to specify the appropriate path, entrypoint, and dotenv file path. After that, you can add breakpoints to your action code and start debugging!
