When debugging, the console seems disabled as the enter key has no effect when pressed.

Hi! So I started the debugger and I put up a breakpoint at the express app-line. The debugger is running and stops where it should. However, when typing something into the console and hitting enter nothing happens. It simply jumps to the next line. Is this a common thing or have I deleted some file from my computer..?

I upgraded Node to 7.2.1:

sudo npm cache clean -f
sudo npm install -g n
sudo n stable

and reinstalled nodemon:

npm uninstall -g nodemon
npm install -g nodemon

After doing that, this command created a usable debugging environment, with functioning console, in the Chrome browser:

nodemon --inspect --debug-brk  src/app.js

I was having the same issues, and this worked for me. Thanks!

Glad to see it's not just me. It must be a new bug. Nodemon forced me to update which may have caused it.
