API requests timing out (not returning JSON object) about api HOT 4 CLOSED

Thanks @AnandChowdhary
For anyone else looking to run in debug mode, here's the vs code config that worked for me:

.vscode/launch.json

{
  "version": "0.2.0",
  "configurations": [
    {
      "type": "node",
      "request": "launch",
      "name": "Debug",
      "skipFiles": [
        "<node_internals>/**"
      ],
      "program": "${workspaceFolder}/dist/src/__staart.js",
      "preLaunchTask": "Build"
    }
  ]
}

.vscode/tasks.json

{
  "version": "2.0.0",
  "command": "tsc",
  "type": "shell",
  "tasks": [
    {
      "label": "Build",
      "type": "shell",
      "command": "yarn",
      "args": [
        "build"
      ],
    }
  ],
  "reveal": "always"
}

Hi @simoami, this should not be the case, let me help you find what's not working here.

First, I'd like to make sure you're on the most recent version of Staart API. You can check that by making sure "staart-version" in your package.json is "1.3.150". If this is not the case, you can update Staart API by entering staart update api in your console.

Then, make sure all dependencies are installed. We have several new dependencies that make sure the raw payload is processed as JSON and returned, so your example should be working. That logic comes from here: https://github.com/staart/packages/blob/master/packages/server/index.ts#L22 in package @staart/scripts. Make sure you've run npm install to get these new packages.

Can you please confirm you've this is all done, and then we can add some console.logs in your handler and see where this breaks down.

Hi @AnandChowdhary
I pulled the latest update, wiped node_modules and reinstalled from scratch. It works with yarn start
However, I noticed my issue is with starting the server in debug mode in vs code. This config is what's causing the requests to stall:

launch.json

  "configurations": [
    {
      "type": "node",
      "request": "launch",
      "name": "Launch Program",
      "skipFiles": [
        "<node_internals>/**"
      ],
      "program": "${workspaceFolder}/dist/src/__staart.js",
      "preLaunchTask": "tsc: build - tsconfig.json",
      "outFiles": [
        "${workspaceFolder}/dist/**/*.js"
      ]
    }
  ]

Update: After removing the preLaunchTask line, it works. So I'm assuming the tarn build has more to it than just tsc compiling.

Do you happen to use vscode? If so what config/script can be directly invoked with the node command?

That's correct, @simoami, the yarn build script does (much) more than tsc. It compiles TypeScript, generates controllers, appends middleware, and so on.

The script you want to run is staart build.
