What does the Node.js `--nolazy` flag mean?

Question

When I use --nolazy, I can finally debug asynchronously with IntelliJ, as breakpoints stop at the correct place. But I can\'t find any docs on --nolazy

Answer 1

• Problem: when you want to set breakpoints in ides to debug js codes in nodejs, some breakpoints doesn't work.

• Reason: On start, node parses the code lazily, it means it doesn't see the full code. so it doesn't see all of the breakpoint.

• Solution: Use --no-lazy option to turn of the node's lazy behavior.

( Ps: i tried to explain it easily and it may not be so accurate. )
