Debugging with node.js

[Dave Johnson]

Hello,

 

I am trying to debug a very simple app in node.js and I am having problems.

 

Here are my stages:

 

1. In node.js console:

npm install -g node-inspector

 

2. In app.js:

var foo = function(){
  var a = 3, b = 5;
  debugger;
  var bar = function() {
    var b = 7, c = 11;
    a += b + c;
    debugger;
  }
  bar ();
  debugger;
};
foo();

 

3. In node.js console:

node --debug-brk app.js

 

Response: debugger listening on port 5858

 

4. In another node.js console:

node-inspector

 

Response:

info  - socket.io started
visit http://0.0.0.0:8080/debug?port=5858 to start debugging

 

 

However if I browse to http://0.0.0.0:8080/debug?port=5858 I just get:

 

This webpage is not available

The webpage at http://0.0.0.0:8080/debug?port=5858 might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address.

Error 108 (net::ERR_ADDRESS_INVALID): Unknown error.

Any ideas where I am going wrong here?

Thanks, Dave J.

if you are running this on windows 0.0.0.0 doesnt exist there.. you should use 127.0.0.1 or localhost

http://127.0.0.1:8080/debug?port=5858 seems to do the trick many :) Many thanks

You need to replace 0.0.0.0 with an ip address to your server.
