Node inspector debugging

I am currently having trouble getting node inspector to work with Google Chrome. I am on Windows 7 64 bit.

here is info about node-inspector: https://github.com/node-inspector/node-inspector

when I run the following

node-debug app.js

on a simple JavaScript file called app.js:

a = 5;
b = 6;
c = a + b;
console.log(c);

and I open up Chrome with the following URL:

  http://localhost:8080/debug?port=5858

all I get is this empty page with nothing loaded except one little part of the Chrome debugging toolbar, no matter what I do, I even reinstalled Chrome ( and the Canary developer version too):

Anyone have any idea what could be going wrong? This is the simplest JavaScript application ever, and there node-inspector directions does not specify any other steps to take. Like I said, I resinstalled Chrome. I have node version v0.10.30, npm version v1.4.21 version and node-inspector version: v0.7.4.

Does anyone have a good idea how I can test Chrome debugging tools without involving node? I am new to all this.

When I installed node-inspector, I did get what looks like a warning:

Try starting it without node-debug wrapper.

So, install node inspector:

npm install -g node-inspector

In one terminal:

node --debug-brk app.js

In a different terminal:

node-inspector

Browse to http://localhost:8080/debug?port=5858

i had the same issue. i then uninstalled node-inspector, installed it again. closed the cmd prompt which installed node-inspector (maybe this step made the difference). opened another cmd prompt to node-debug my.js. i can see the source file now.

I had a similar issue where going to http://localhost:8080/debug?port=5858 would result in an empty page. However going to http://127.0.0.1:8080/debug?port=5858 seems to do the trick.
