Debugging Node.js processes with cluster.fork()

Question

I\'ve got some code that looks very much like the sample in the Cluster documentation at http://nodejs.org/docs/v0.6.0/api/cluster.html, to wit:

var cluster          


        

Answer 1

var fixedExecArgv=[];
fixedExecArgv.push('--debug-brk=5859');
cluster.setupMaster({ 
  execArgv: fixedExecArgv 
});

Credit goes to Sergey's post.

I changed my server.js to fork only one worker mainly for testing this then added the code above the forking. This fixed the debugging issue for me. Thank you Sergey for explaining and providing the solution!!!
