Node.js: How to attach to a running process and to debug the server with a console?

Question

I use \'forever\' to run my application. I want to attach to the running environment to inspect my application. So what can I do?

Answer 1

Even it's an old yet answered question, there is an easier way, which is passing parameters to node:

forever start -c 'node --debug-brk' main.js

If you don't want to wait for debugger to be attached, replace --debug-brk by --debug
