Nodemon inspect/debug not working?

Question

Running nodemon --inspect index.js or nodemon --debug index.js doesn't work.

Node Version : 8.9.1

Nodemon Version : 1.12.6

I have tried these with no luck :

• nodemon --inspect-brk index.js

• nodemon -- --inspect index.js

• nodemon index.js -- --inspect index.js

• nodemon index.js -- --debug index.js

• nodemon -- --debug index.js

• nodemon --inspect --debug index.js

• nodemon --debug-brk index.js

But node --inspect index.js or node --inspect-brk index.js works. I wonder how? If any alternatives or some kinda workaround would be great too.

Please comment if you need further description.

Answer 1

nodemon --inspect app.js

The .js part is absolutely necessary.

Answer 2

As per official doc Nodemon NPM

You can also pass the inspect flag to node through the command line as you would normally:

nodemon --inspect ./server.js 80

Answer 3

SOLVED,

It seems like nodemon@1.12.6 was not passing in this argument. There is a newer version available 1.12.7 where everything works fine and well.
