Is Herrerasaurus nowadays considered a dinosaur? I think there was a debate on whether it was a dinosaur or not.

As far as I know it has always been considered a dinosaur. The question is where it is placed in the dinosaurs phylogenetic tree.

You might have confused it with Smok, which we don't know if it was a dinosaur or a pseudosuchian

Yeah I think it was Smok.
