Let's say I have a JS script like the following:
function recurse() {
return recurse();
}
recurse();
If I run node recurse.js, it will of course fail with a "Maximum call stack size exceeded" error.
How do I get a debugger (for example, running in VS Code) to break before this exception happens, so I can see what's in the stack? I can attach a breakpoint, but it would take forever to hit this exception.
Maximum call stack size exceeded is an exception like any other. Wrap the call in a try/catch, and add a stop point inside the catch block, like so:
function recurse() {
return recurse()
}
try {
recurse()
} catch(e) {
console.log(e) // <- stop here
}
