停止节点调试以打开新的浏览器窗口

Question

The command:

node-debug sls offline 

opens a new browser window every time it is run.

How do we stop it from opening a new window every time? I want to reuse the existing window!

Answer 1

This is a known issue with node inspector. Take a look here .

Since 0.9.0 we use https://github.com/benderjs/browser-launcher2 to start the browser, and make sure it's Chrome/Chromium/Opera (ie the browsers that can properly render node inspector; we detect installed browsers in the system and choose the most appropriate one; earlier we used opener module which just delegated opening the browser to the OS, which would open the defaul browser, which could have been eg Firefox) and this could be the reason why the behavior has changed.

browser-launcher2 actually does a bit more than just launching a browser, for instance it creates a new profile for Chrome in a subfolder of ~/ - this is probably the issue that @CalvinScott reported (ie Chrome that was opened was the new profile created by browser-launcher, not your original profile; you should be able to open your original profile of Chrome normally)

Also, you may consider this :

Since version 6.3, Node.js provides a buit-in DevTools-based debugger which mostly deprecates Node Inspector, see eg this blog post to get started. The built-in debugger is developed directly by the V8/Chromium team and provides certain advanced features (eg long/async stack traces) that are too difficult to implement in Node Inspector.
