JavaScript Express Basics (2015) Developing Express Apps Like a Boss Interactive Debugging and Exploratory Programming

***node-debug***!

Just in case anyone else is having a "slow day", I thought I'd clear this up. The way it looked on the video, I thought the command was

node -debug src/app.js

and since that didn't work, I tried

node --debug src/app.js

which does start the debugger. But to get node-inspector to work, the command is

node-debug src/app.js

Hope this helps someone else.

I am forever turning on my magnifier to look at the videos, so that I am getting syntax right.

you can just use one single command and it works wonders

node-debug --web-host localhost --no-preload src/app.js
