IntelliJ IDEA 2016.3 EAP Adds React Native Debugger
Last week we’ve announced a public preview of IntelliJ IDEA 2016.3. Today we’re publishing a fresh EAP build. Please give it a thorough look, and let us know (through our issue tracker) about any issues you’ll find.
In addition to bugfixes, this RC brings the support for React Native. Now you can run and debug React Native apps without leaving IntelliJ IDEA.
All it takes is a new React Native Run/Debug configuration. Just create one, select the target platform, and make sure that path to the React Native CLI package is correct.
The support assumes that you already have React Native installed and configured for the iOS or Android development. For OS X, we recommend to install Watchman, that worked good for us so far.
Note that currently there’s one limitation: the debugger isn’t compatible with Node 5. Make sure you have upgraded your Node to 6 or 7.
P.S: If you’ve missed the public preview announcement, make sure to read it to learn about other new features in IntelliJ IDEA 2016.3.
Develop with Pleasure!

October 28, 2016Will this be for the Community Edition or only the Ultimate Edition of Intellij? I downloaded the Community Edition but I don’t see the React Native run configuration when I go to add a new configuration.
Andrey Cheptsov says:
November 8, 2016It’s for Ultimate only as it depends on JavaScript/React.
James Parsons says:
November 8, 2016Does it support creating React Native projects or do we have to import them?

November 10, 2016With React Native version 0.37.0，debug throw Exception “Maximum call stack size exceeded error”。
Version 0.36.0 is OK。
Chris says:
November 12, 2016I am getting the same error. Runs fine, without exception, if I run the app through Xcode without the WebStorm debugger.
Igor says:
November 14, 2016Same for me. RN 0.37.0, ‘Maximum call stack size exceeded’.

Luis says:

Michael says:
November 29, 2016I am having the same error with React-Native 0.38 and WebStorm 2016.3.1
Build #WS-163.7743.51
Sam Bishop says:
December 6, 2016React-Native 0.38.1,
WebStorm 2016.3.1 – Build #WS-163.7743.51, built on November 23, 2016
Run works ok. Debug Fails.
Seems to be the same issue, “Maximum call stack size exceeded”.
In my case, `Requiring module “229”… is there a YT issue for this yet?
The only relevant one I could find, https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/WEB-24443
following the rabbit warren lead me to the issue being an upstream nodeJS bug, and MS have worked around it in https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode-react-native/pull/342, is WebStorm implementing the same or a similar workaround, and when will we be getting our hands on it ?
