Unfortunately, there is no simple way of any debug for any web requests. And it does not really matter in docker or not.

BINGO!
that''s the way to go.

I typically use from Terminal

>SET ^GO=0

and in code

SET ^JOB($h)=$JOB FOR x=1:0 HANG 1 IF $GET(^GO) QUIT

and of course Studio to attach

or I use $system.CSP.Shell() as described here

In a studio it is possible.
1. I put a delay of a few seconds in the service code.
2. Start the service
3. I find the required process, connect to it

Actually, this way may also work in VSCode as well. It does support Attach to a process.

In VS Code, you can create a debugger launch configuration for your API endpoint. Set the "request" attribute to "attach" and the "processID" attribute to the job ID of the production component that services your API. Set breakpoints and run this configuration. Then when a request arrives, you can debug the service and endpoints while viewing the REST request contents.

Here is a reference video; example starts at 4:00.

Classes extended from csp.rest class does not generate an objectscript jobid. So, is not possible debug rest services.

Good point. In the example I gave, the request is forwarded to a business process which has a job ID.

Yes, from Ensemble you have, but from csp.rest no. It is because web Gateway

This can be done using the Serenji extension. Free evaluation keys for Serenji's debugging features are available on request.

The steps are documented here. I demonstrated it on the main stage at Global Summit 2019 during a session hosted by @Jeff Fried but unfortunately the YouTube video of that session has since been set private (see item 10 at https://community.intersystems.com/post/intersystems-global-summit-2019-... for the link).

The Video is now available at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OjdXmtd6E_M

You use the VS Code REST Client extension to make the requests and to debug you simple click on the Debug with Serenji code lens.
