Answer 1

The problem was my version of mocha. I was running a version older than 3.1.0. --inspect support was added in 3.1.0

mocha --reporter spec --inspect test.js
mocha --reporter spec --inspect-brk test.js

Answer 2

[DEP0062] DeprecationWarning: node --inspect --debug-brk is deprecated. Please use node --inspect-brk instead.

use in the future
