require('async_hooks').createHook({
  init: () => {
    process._rawDebug("you won't see mee");
    a.b = c; // crash
  }
}).enable();

Promise.resolve().then(()=>{
  console.log("me neither");
});

I'm writing code using async_hooks magic and it seems that process._rawDebug does not appear in the console anymore. Worst, if a crash happens in a hook then you won't have any indication that it happened. I spent 4 hours debugging this :(

Reproduces without extensions: Yes

process._rawDebug goes directly to stderr and skips the debug protocol. I don't recommend using that in general. But you can also check out the insiders build and set "outputCapture": "std".

#19750

It's not only that, the debugger does not catch the exceptions happening in hooks, the debugging session just exits without any indication that something has gone wrong.

Do you have the button checked to break on all exceptions? Does it work differently with chrome devtools?

[geogeim]

Tried the sample code with chrome devtools and I get the same behavior. Node.js bug?

Thanks for trying that. Sounds like it could be a node bug, you can open an issue on https://github.com/nodejs/node
