Run node.js application in debug with supervisor

I am using supervisor to auto-reload my node.js, e.g. 

supervisor -w . app.js

However I can't work out how to get supervisor to run the node.js process in debug, e.g. the equivalent to 

node --debug app.coffee

Anyone got any ideas?

Solution

  • This solution will work for *nix:

    Go to /usr/local/bin or any other directory in your $PATH

    $ cd /usr/local/bin

    Create an executable script (say, node-debug) with the following contents

    #!/bin/bash
node --debug $@

    To make it executable:

    $ sudo chmod 777 /usr/local/bin/node-debug

    Now you can run supervisor like this:

    $ supervisor -x node-debug script.js

    P.S.: To round it up:

    su
echo '#!/bin/bash
node --debug $@' > /usr/local/bin/node-debug
chmod 777 /usr/local/bin/node-debug
