Any way to use this over ssh?

[OmgImAlexis]

I have a remote server that I'd love to use this where I can use my local instance of VS Code, Chrome, etc.

How would the chrome window popup work in this scenario?

If you redirect certain ports on your ssh session, it should already work out of the box using the vscode rpc server extension.
Admittedly, one of the ports you would have to forward is random, but this is by design.

Would it be sufficient if you could specify a range of ports that the debugger-proxy can choose from? Then you can forward all ports in this range.

[OmgImAlexis]

That sounds perfect.

You can now specify ports with debugProxyPort:

require("...\\easy-attach\\")({  debugProxyPort: [12340,12341, 12342 ] });

You then have to forward these ports from your dev machine to your server.
Then, with the vscode rpc server extension, you also have to forward port 56024 from your server to your dev machine.
This way, the server can notify vscode and vscode can connect to the debug proxy.

I don't have a remote linux at hand and my virtual linux has problems with port forwarding, so please let me know if this works!

Closing this issue. Please let me know if it does not work, I'll reopen then.

Sorry only just got around to testing this and it seems it doesn't work. I've updated to the latest 1.0.0.

I get the same issue with and without esm so I doubt that's causing it.

get-port should be accessed as get_port_1() not get_port_1.default, sounds like a typescript issue. 🤔

[OmgImAlexis]

I haven't used typescript in a while but I think if you change this line to import * as getPort from 'get-port'; it should fix it.

easy-attach/src/debugger-proxy/entry.ts

Line 8 in 4d37565

import getPort from "get-port";

The type definitions of get-port said there is a default export, even though there isn't. They have been fixed recently.
Its Strange though that I didn't notice this when I tested it.

Should be fixed in 1.1.0 now.
