I cannot play variables in console Node-inspector. So, I have not access to the objects. When I type a variable and hit ENTER nothing happens. How can I fix this?

Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Student 13,003 PointsDid you solve it? I am having the same problem and it's extremely frustrating.

Courses Plus Student 14,283 PointsSorry! I didn't solve it! It appears that we are working with the last version of Node.js but Node-inspector is not updated for that. I'm still finding a solution.
Sebastian Andersson
Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Student 13,003 PointsInteresting! Will try to find a solution aswell. I have access to the scope variables on the right side of the debugger though. Do you?

33,595 PointsActually, Node Inspector has not been maintained for a while (last commit was April, 9 2016) and does not work properly on newer versions of Nodejs and Chrome. The inspect functionality has been included with newer versions of Nodejs (https://nodejs.org/dist/latest-v6.x/docs/api/debugger.html#debugger_v8_inspector_integration_for_node_js).
To make node-inspector work, as in this course, you should downgrade both Chrome and Nodejs to older versions. Or you should use the node debugger.
