WebStorm 2018.1 EAP, 181.3986: create new projects with Vue CLI

Posted on by Ekaterina Prigara

The new WebStorm 2018.1 Early Preview build (181.3986.8) is now available!

You can update via Toolbox App, or download the build here and install it beside your stable WebStorm version.

To learn more about all the new features added in earlier WebStorm 2018.1 EAP builds, please check out these blog posts.

Create new project using Vue CLI in WebStorm

Now you can use Vue CLI to create new Vue projects right from WebStorm’s Welcome screen.

vue-cli is an official tool for scaffolding Vue apps. You’ll need to install it first by running npm install --g vue-cli in the terminal. WebStorm will then use this package to create a new project.

With Vue CLI version 2, you can select one of 6 default project templates and then answer additional questions about tools like linters and test runner that can be added to the project.

Alternatively, you can use Vue CLI version 3 which is currently in beta.

Process and Debugger consoles in the Node.js debugger

When debugging a Node.js application in WebStorm, you can now see two console tabs – the Console and the new Debugger Console.

The Console shows the output of the node process itself – everything written to the process.stdout and process.stderr directly or logged using console.*.

node-console

The new Debugger Console, on the other hand, lets you do more: execute JavaScript, see the console.log messages, jump to the location where console.log was called, and use other features of the console provided by the Inspector debug protocol.

Renaming default export

It’s a common pattern to use export default for a class and then import it with the same name in another file. Now, when you rename this class, WebStorm will also rename its usages with the same name (even though the import will work properly even with the old name).

    WebStorm debug mode doesn’t hit breakpoints.

    Chrome@64
    WebStorm@2017.3.4
    vue/cli@3.0.0-beta.2
    node@8.9.4

    Thanks!

      Could you please provide a bit more information on your debug configuration and where the breakpoints are. You can contact our tech support or report an issue on our tracker. Thank you!

        Hint: A project (debugging) created with old version of vue-cli v.2 works fine.

        1. Create new project by vue/cli v.3
        – vue create my-project
        – Manualy select features [Router, Vuex, CSS Pre-processors, Unit Testing]
        – Pick a CSS pre-processor [SCSS/SASS]
        – Pick a unit testing solution [Mocha + Chai]
        – Prefer placing config [In dedicated config files]

        2. Open project
        – npm install

        3. Add new Run/Debug configuration
        – Javascript Debug [http://localhost:8080/, Chrome]

        4. npm run serve

        5. Add breakpoint & click Debug
        – In template: Click Me!
        – export default {
        methods:{
        doit(){
        console.log(‘go go go’); //STOP !?
        }
        }
        }

          Have you tried debugging the app in Chrome’s DevTools? For me that doesn’t work either. That means that the problem might be related to the webpack configuration used in the project. Will investigate further.

              Can you please try the following: press Ctrl-Shift-A and search fore Registry…, find and enable the option called `js.debugger.break.on.first.statement.with.regexp` and restart the IDE.

              Sorry, it’s only available in WebStorm 2018.1 EAP and I assumed that you’re using it because of the blog post.

            Sorry, btw in WebStorm 2018.1 EAP it works?

              Debugging works with this registry option in WebStorm 2018.1 EAP.

          Thanks! Reproduced. Wasn’t working if the doit method contained only a single line with the console.log.

    is there a step-by-step to get debug working for a vue.js project using typescript?

    Warning : if you have vue-cli not found (node_modules vue-cli not found)
    specify this directory in vue-cli field :

    C:\Users\[your_username]\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules
