Google cloud debugger not displaying source code

I'm using Google App Engine and I've followed the instruction to setup Google Debugger as show here: https://cloud.google.com/debugger/docs/setup/nodejs

My project is written in Node.js and I'm starting the service with this line:

require('@google-cloud/debug-agent').start({serviceContext: {enableCanary: true}});

I've also generated the source-context file.

When I go to the debugger console (https://console.cloud.google.com/debug) I see the green tick about the debug agent running but nothing is displayed on the left side, under "Deployed files".

screenshot added

Any ideas?

What you're seeing is intended behavior. Deployments to App Engine Standard will show the source code as the source files are included on deployment and not using a Docker container while deployments to App Engine Flex are using a Docker container, which currently need not to include the source files, hence why you need a source context information which is generated from a Git Repository. For more information about differences of standard and flex, please see Choose an App Engine environment.

For App Engine Flex app source code to appear on Cloud Debugger, it must be located on a remote code hosting provider. Make sure that you follow the Selecting source code automatically properly. Your main source code (js, yaml, and source-context.json) should be in the root directory of the repository as shown below.

App-directory/
  main.py
  app.yaml
  source-context.json

I've successfully deployed sample application using Github showing the source codes on the left side as shown below. Debugger Some important notes:

When using "Cloud Source Repositories" or "GitHub" or any of the other remote code hosting options, one must take some care:

  • Changes to the source file must be committed to version control before running gcloud debug source gen-repo-info-file.
  • gcloud debug source gen-repo-info must be run before deploying the App.
  • Commits must have been pushed to Cloud Source Repository/GitHub/etc before running Cloud Debugger.
  • Access must have been granted to the repo to the Cloud Debugger application.
  • Always redeploy application when there are changes to the repository or source code.
