How to debug code in boot script

[Terrence Ong]

I have created a custom boot script under server/boot/myBootScript.js

The script run fine, the code got executed.

However, when i debug my code using node-inspector, I cannot break in any line of the code in myBootScript.js

I break on the first line of my server.js, then put a break point in the boot script, then press continue. It just skip right through the code.

How can i debug my code in boot script??

Put the literal keyword "debugger" in your boot script and run inspector.

I tried that. It works on other part of my code but jus not the boot script. :(

How does your boot script look like? If you add a console.log(‘my boot script’), will you see the output? I can set breakpoints in my boot script and node-inspector is able to hit it.

Thanks,

Nothing special, its just an ordinary one.

The project was created by the slc loopback scaffolding. I can't even debug the default boot script.

Can you show me how you load the boot script in ur server.js? i suspect it has something to do with how we load the script.

below is my code in the boot script:

module.exports = function (server) {

    console.log('Initialize:START');

    

    debugger;

    server.models.Role.create({

        name: 'RegularUser'

    }, function (err, role) {

        if (err)

            throw err;

    });

    console.log('Initialize:END');

};

Have you tried switching your browser? I had the same problem and was able to start debugging after switching from Chrome to Safari.
