A wrapper around nodemon and node-inspector - basically let's you use
node-inspector in watch-mode.
Install it from npm:
npm install icebug --save-dev
Please note that I've used ES6 syntax, so node v4 or above is required.
Although I never recommend installing modules globally, if you installed icebug with the -g flag, you should be able to run icebug path/to/file.js.
However, I recommend you install the package locally, and add an npm run script to your package.json.
{
"scripts": {
"debug": "icebug path/to/file.js"
}
}
Because npm is smart, it'll look in the local node_modules folder.
icebug uses rc, which in turn uses minimist, which means configuration can come from CLI arguments as well as a .icebugrc file.
The configuration allows you to change the ports used, as well as passing additional arguments to nodemon and node-inspector.
Sample .icebugrc file with defaults:
{
// node-inspector web port
"webport": 8080,
// debugging port
"debugport": 5858,
// node-inspector's --save-live-edit
"edit": true,
// use debug-brk
"break": false,
// Additional args to pass to nodemon
"nodemonargs": "",
// Additional args to pass to node-inspector
"inspectorargs": ""
}
These can be overriden with the CLI, e.g.
icebug --break --webport=7070

Inspiration from nodev - the reason I made this module was because portscanner which nodev uses does not install easily on Windows.
