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

To inspect nodejs and debug it, use this command

forever -w -c 'node --inspect=IP:PORT' file.js

• -c if for a custom command
• use -w to reload if the file is re-save
• You can pass ip and port for external inspect
• port custom is 9229
