How to debug noflo-nodejs

Question

How do I start noflo-nodejs with debugging enabled so that I can debug using node-inspector?

I've tried adding the --debug-brk option when calling noflo-nodejs.cmd

I've also tried calling node "node_modules\noflo-nodejs\bin\noflo-nodejs" --debug-brk

First what you can do: Update Node Inspector to latest version (npm update node-inspector).

Use node-debug node_modules\noflo-nodejs\bin\noflo-nodejs

Or node-debug node_modules\noflo-nodejs

node-debug is a new command of node-inspector. It opens debugging process in debug mode (same as --debug-brk) and opens debugger page in chrome (if it is your default browser).

If node-debug is not helpful, try:

Check that your port 5858 is free.

Put in first terminal node node_modules\noflo-nodejs\bin\noflo-nodejs

Put in second terminal node-inspector

Open in chrome http://127.0.0.1/debug

If this not works welcome to node-inspector/issues
