Node js debugging

Question

I have recently got into Node JS using a Visual Studio project.
VS does syntax check but doesn't give a list of errors and their line numbers as it does in C# and wpf.
This makes debugging tedious.
Node JS just crashing out means the problem could be anywhere.

Hi 69673825,

There appear to be some compatibility issues, we suggest you report it to developer community: https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/report?space=8&entry=problem.

Problem was down to simple bad programming and also lack of help from VS.
I reported in and now VS gives syntax errors.
This helps a lot but node still crashes out a lot even if no syntax errors.
The trick seems to be incrementally change code and run it to see if what you have done causes a crash.
If you change a lot of code and it crashes the bug could be anywhere !
