Debugging with IntelliJ/WebStorm

[jasonfma]

This is super early lead. WebStorm is starting to support React Native debugging (https://blog.jetbrains.com/webstorm/2016/10/webstorm-2016-3-eap-163-6512/) and I tried it out and ran into what looks to be the same constructor issue as we saw in VS Code debugging.

IntelliJ is now public with react native debugging support. https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/whatsnew/#v2016-3-react-native

Latest error against 1.0.2

Is there any workaround for this issue? It kind of sucks that I cannot debug my application because of realm.

I've been using the default chrome/web browser debugger.

I wasted several hours on this :( - browser debugger is you only choice. realm/lib/index.js - Line 26 (getContext()) appears to have some custom logic for detecting if it's using Chrome or not. It appears IntelliJ isn't sending a userAgent to pick up on either.

Here's a debug dump - breakpoint at https://github.com/realm/realm-js/blob/v1.8.1/lib/index.js#L29

I'm not sure why process + '' === '[object process]' is in there, but if I remove that and toss this inside the function, my IntelliJ Debugger for RN works just fine:

        if ('env' in process && 'NODE_ENV' in process.env) {
            return 'chromedebugger';
        }
