This command should only be used with modern versions of Node. For Node v5 and below, use
#sails debug
.
Attach the Node debugger and lift the Sails app (similar to running node --inspect app.js
). You can then use a tool like Chrome DevTools to interactively debug your apps (see the Node Inspector docs for more information).
sails inspect
Takes the same options as sails lift
, listed here.
$ sails inspect
info: Running app in inspect mode...
info: In Google Chrome, go to chrome://inspect for interactive debugging.
info: For other options, see the link below.
info: ( to exit, type <CTRL>+<C> )
Debugger listening on ws://127.0.0.1:9229/7f984b04-b070-4497-bd15-056261a37f7c
For help see https://nodejs.org/en/docs/inspector
To use the standard (command-line) Node debugger with Sails, you can always just run
node inspect app.js
.
If you don't see your files in the Chrome DevTools, try clicking the "Filesystem" tab and adding your project folder to the workspace.
