4,166 PointsThere is no "Node debugging" checkbox in my Chrome?
My environment details are below OS : MS Windows7 Node.js : 6.9.5 Chrome : Version 57.0.2987.98
I follow the step in this course, and after six "shift", many hidden checkboxes appear, but there is no "Node debugging", Does anyone know the reason?
My screenshot is in the link : https://goo.gl/wFOwyu

With Chrome 57. You don't need enable 'Node debugging' in Develop Tool.
Run: node --inspect ...
open address with chrome-devtools://devtools/remote/serve_file...
It work with me.

Quite amazingly, this post on medium works just fine for me. Thank you, Owa Aquino.

You'll need to install the latest node on your unit first to be able to use the Node Debugging tool.
Check out how to install here: https://medium.com/@paul_irish/debugging-node-js-nightlies-with-chrome-devtools-7c4a1b95ae27#.jwm0769nt
Cheers!

4,166 PointsHi Owa, I am not sure I got your point. The course said Node.js version should be 6.4+. My previous node version is 6.9.5. Now I update it to 7.7.2 as you suggested (I guess...). But I still cannot see the "node debugging" checkbox. My node is installed at C:\Program Files\nodejs Does it mean that my Chrome doesn't know my node?
Thank you.

Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Student 16,870 PointsA small correction. Seems like you don't have to go to 'Open dedicated DevTools for Node' after chrome://inspect, but click the link with Node.js icon.

Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Graduate 19,328 PointsHey everyone.
If you are reading this, chances are the information in the video is completely out-of-date in terms of running the node debugger in Chrome. An alternative way to use the node debugger is to:
1) Make sure it is enabled by typing in the URL: "chrome://flags", and then search for "Developer tools experiments" and click enable.
2) In your project source file, in package.json, write as the property value "node --inspect ./bin/www" for the property "start".
3) In your terminal, type in "npm start".
4) To see it in Devtools, in a Chrome URL type "about://inspect" and click "Open dedicated DevlTools for Node".
Hope this helps.
