Using interactive Debugger Console

Last modified: 10 August 2022

Required plugins: JavaScript and TypeScript, JavaScript Debugger, Node.js

The plugins are available only in IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate, where they are enabled by default.

When you are debugging a Node.js application, IntelliJ IDEA shows two console tabs in the Debug tool window - Process Console and Debugger Console.

  • The Process Console tab shows the output of the node process itself, that is, everything that is written to process.stdout and process.stderr directly or is logged using console.*.

    Node.js debugging session: Process Console
  • In the Debugger Console, you can run JavaScript code snippets and view the console.* messages.
