Node-inspector - can't set local variables - is node inspector broken?

StackOverflow https://stackoverflow.com/questions/19321217

Question

I'm using node-inspector. I have run debugger, and the console is paused where the debugger has started:

> var z = 1
undefined

> z
ReferenceError: z is not defined

Setting globals seems to work:

> a = 1
1
> a
1

enter image description here

Is node-inspector broken or an I doing something wrong?

I am using node-inspector 0.5, which is the latest at the time I'm writing this.

Was it helpful?

Solution

Disclaimer: I am a maintainer of Node Inspector.

This is a missing feature of Node Inspector.

Local variables are preserved in Chrome Developer Tools, thus it should be possible to get this working in Node Inspector too.

Please fill an issue in project's issue tracker.
