node-inspector window is blank

Question

Installed node-inspector via npm install -g nodeinspector.

I can get to the dashboard but it is just blank outside of a search bar.

I've tried starting the app/inspector/browser in all various orders and reinstalled node-inspector a couple times. It was suggested to manually install the connect and async modules and I did, but to no avail.

Any help?

Install it with following command:

npm install -g node-inspector

Issue command in different command prompt:

node-inspector &

Run your program/app:

node --debug-brk your/short/node/script.js

Connect to http://127.0.0.1:<PORT>/debug?port=5858 and you’re good to go!

Browse only in a WebKit based browser: Chrome, Safari to get the debugging option.
