I'm currently using node along with nodemon. Then I got to thinking it might be sometimes nice to use an inspector with node so have started using node-inspector
However, is it possible to run both at the same time?
Normally to run nodemon I would use:
nodemon server.js
//and similarly
node-debug server.js
I have also tried:
nodemon --debug http.js
But sadly this didn't work either.
But both together!?
If you want to run them as one command this works for me: node-inspector & nodemon --debug app.js (replacing app.js with the name of your script). If things get all mucked up you will occasionally have to kill node-inspector manually, but running the command this way gives you the option of running rs to restart nodemon manually if needed. HTH
You would start your server with nodemon --debug server.js and then you'll need to run node-inspector in a separate terminal window unless you push nodemon to the background.
I could not get nodemon to play nice with node-inspector. After one change it would restart but after that no more. Maybe it is because I am using docker containers.
The easiest way to reload the application is to let node-inspector do it (I know this is not an answer to having both run but it worked for me).
Start your application in the following way:
node-inspector --save-live-edit & \
node --debug /app/server.js
