pnpm 10 blocks lifecycle scripts by default to improve security, addressing supply chain attack risks but sparking debate over compatibility and workflow changes.

Advanced tools
This module provides Snapshot Debugger support for Node.js applications. Snapshot Debugger is an open source product that lets you debug your applications in production without stopping or pausing your application.
A Firebase Realtime Database instance is used to store your data.
This project has been archived and is no longer supported. There will be no further bug fixes or security patches. The repository can be forked by users if they want to maintain it going forward.
A comprehensive list of changes in each version may be found in the CHANGELOG.

To customize the behaviour of the automatic debugger agent, specify options when starting the agent. The following code sample shows how to pass in a subset of the available options.
require('@google-cloud/debug-agent').start({
// .. auth settings ..
// debug agent settings:
allowExpressions: true,
serviceContext: {
service: 'my-service',
version: 'version-1'
},
capture: { maxFrames: 20, maxProperties: 100 }
});
The following options configure the connection to the Firebase database:
Some key configuration options are:
See the agent configuration for a list of possible configuration options.
Once your application is running, use the Snapshot Debugger CLI or the VSCode extension to debug your application.
Version 6.x and 7.x of this agent supported both the now shutdown Cloud
Debugger service (by default) and the
Snapshot Debugger
(Firebase RTDB backend) by setting the useFirebase
flag to true. Version 8.0.0
removed support for the Cloud Debugger service, making the Snapshot Debugger the
default. To note the useFirebase
flag is now obsolete, but still present for
backward compatibility.
Note: There is a known issue where enabling the agent may trigger memory leaks. See #811

The Cloud Debugger Node.js Client API Reference documentation also contains samples.
Our client libraries follow the Node.js release schedule. Libraries are compatible with all current active and maintenance versions of Node.js. If you are using an end-of-life version of Node.js, we recommend that you update as soon as possible to an actively supported LTS version.
Google's client libraries support legacy versions of Node.js runtimes on a best-efforts basis with the following warnings:
Client libraries targeting some end-of-life versions of Node.js are available, and
can be installed through npm dist-tags.
The dist-tags follow the naming convention legacy-(version)
.
For example, npm install @google-cloud/debug-agent@legacy-8
installs client libraries
for versions compatible with Node.js 8.
This library follows Semantic Versioning.
This library is considered to be stable. The code surface will not change in backwards-incompatible ways unless absolutely necessary (e.g. because of critical security issues) or with an extensive deprecation period. Issues and requests against stable libraries are addressed with the highest priority.
