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

For people coming from search engines, there could be a bug related to nodemon and ts-node.

Error: Unknown or unexpected option: --inspect 

This can be a way to use inspect with nodemon:

nodemon --exec 'node --inspect=0.0.0.0:9229 --require ts-node/register src/index.ts'

SOLVED,

It seems like [email protected] was not passing in this argument. There is a newer version available 1.12.7 where everything works fine and well.
