Run node-inspector with the rest of your workflow to debug node.js
Run node-inspector as a grunt task for easy configuration and integration with the rest of your workflow.
If you haven't used grunt before, be sure to check out the Getting Started guide, as it explains how to create a gruntfile as well as install and use grunt plugins. Once you're familiar with that process, install this plugin with this command:
npm install grunt-node-inspector --save-dev
Then add this line to your project's Gruntfile.js
gruntfile:
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-node-inspector');
The minimal usage of node-inspector runs with no options:
'node-inspector': {
dev: {}
}
When this is run, node-inspector will be available at 0.0.0.0:8080
.
Here is a config that uses all of the available options for node-inspector:
'node-inspector': {
custom: {
options: {
'web-host': 'localhost',
'web-port': 1337,
'debug-port': 5857,
'save-live-edit': true,
'preload': false,
'hidden': ['node_modules'],
'stack-trace-limit': 4,
}
}
}

'node-inspector': {
custom: {
options: {
'web-host': 'localhost',
'web-port': 1337,
