DeprecationWarning: node --debug and node --debug-brk are invalid. Please use node --inspect or node --inspect-brk instead.

Can any of you get the debugger to work with Node 6.11? Even using --inspect, I can do breakpoints, but I cannot inspect any variables, as reported in issue https://github.com/kiddkai/atom-node-debugger/issues/237

I'm using node v8.2.1 having the same prob. maybe line 56 in debugger.coffee needs to change to "--inspect-brk"? perhaps it shouldn't be hard coded in a future release :-)

I think it isn't that simple. Otherwise I'd be able to inspect values when changing the command line manually.

Aug 11 '17 14:08 Redsandro

So the package is node v8 incompatible? Any news on this?

Yep I have the same issue. I tried changing line 56 but after reloading the app, it only loads up in chrome. I can't debug from within Atom using node 8 on osx.

Hi adding in a +1 on the issue and looking for a solution. I am new to Mac and Atom (new Job) so not sure how much I can add at this point other than I would like to be able to debug node 8 in atom. Any information (such as why this is an issue) would be appreciated. It is deeper than the command line option - right?

So, one way to solve it, as @vildmedtog pointed out.

Go to your .atom directory, find packages\node-debugger\lib\debugger.coffee line 56, change --debug to --inspect.

~~That solved the issue for me.~~

Edit: This makes the error go away, but I don't seem to get the debugger itself working, I assume this is because the node-inspector uses Chrome websocket debugger, not the old debugging method. I suppose we'll need a new version of node-debugger after all.

Edit 2018-06-17: Not sure if this type of comments is welcome here, but this is a personal opinion, VSCode gives a much better debugging experience, and a generally better editing experience, it probably would be a good idea to use it until this is fixed.

Same issue here. No fix still?
