@dolsem/node-inspect

This is a fork of node-inspect that adds an option to auto-resume execution when debugger pauses on start:

$ NODE_INSPECT_RESUME_ON_START=1 node-inspect script.js

node-inspect

npm install --global node-inspect

For the old V8 debugger protocol, node has two options:

1. node --debug <file>: Start file with remote debugging enabled.
2. node debug <file>: Start an interactive CLI debugger for <file>.

But for the Chrome inspector protocol, there's only one: node --inspect <file>.

This project tries to provide the missing second option by re-implementing node debug against the new protocol.

Usage: node-inspect script.js
       node-inspect <host>:<port>
