How do I debug a Node.js server application?
Right now I’m mostly using alert debugging with print statements like this:
sys.puts(sys.inspect(someVariable));
There must be a better way to debug. I know that Google Chrome has a command-line debugger. Is this debugger available for Node.js as well?
The V8 debugger released as part of the Google Chrome Developer Tools can be used to debug Node.js scripts. A detailed explanation of how this works can be found in the Node.js GitHub wiki.
