When I first installed the latest version of node-inspector (0.9.2) running it with 'node-inspector app.js' I had the debugging session opened automatically in Chrome and the app was automatically running at localhost:5000.
Now running the same command I just get this:
D:\Work\examples\mozaik-demo-master>node-inspector app.js Node Inspector v0.9.2 Visit http://127.0.0.1:8080/debug?port=5858 to start debugging.
And then I have to open another prompt window and run the app with 'node --debug app.js' then open the browser windows at 'http://127.0.0.1:8080/debug?port=5858' and 'localhost:5000'.
This is so much an overhead, how can I make it work as it did the first time? Installing and uninstalling node-inspector doesn't help.
Thanks.
The command node-inspector was never opening Chrome. It was always starting the backend web server only.
You should use the command node-debug instead. This command will start the backend, start the application in debug mode, and open the browser for you.
