7,897 PointsWhen I insert "brk" in the nodemon --debug-brk app.js command, my server won't start.
I can start my server with:
$ nodemon --debug app.js
Result:
$ nodemon --debug app.js
[nodemon] 1.11.0
[nodemon] to restart at any time, enter `rs`
[nodemon] watching: *.*
[nodemon] starting `node --debug app.js`
Debugger listening on port 5858
Express server is running...
And node-inspector (in a second bash window) as well:
$ node-inspector
Result:
$ node-inspector
Node Inspector v0.12.8
Visit http://127.0.0.1:8080/?port=5858 to start debugging.
Though when I run:
$ nodemon --debug-brk app.js
My server will not start:
$ nodemon --debug-brk app.js
[nodemon] 1.11.0
[nodemon] to restart at any time, enter `rs`
[nodemon] watching: *.*
[nodemon] starting `node --debug-brk app.js`
Debugger listening on port 5858
My app.js:
'use strict';
var express = require('express'),
posts = require('./mock/posts.json');
var app = express();
app.get('/', function(req, res) {
res.send("<h1>My Express App!</h1>");
});
app.get('/blog/:title', function(req, res) {
debugger;
var title = req.params.title;
var post = posts[title];
res.send(post);
});
app.listen(3000, function() {
console.log("Express server is running...");
});
After several days of researching for answers I have not found anything that solves this issue. Am I missing something obvious?
I am running:
Windows 10
MINGW64 Bash
Node v4.6.1
Express v4.14.0
node-inspector v0.12.8
nodemon v1.11.0

Treehouse TeacherWhile I haven't personally experienced this, I have seen this thread where multiple people are describing this symptom. You might take a look here. Hope you get it working!
