How to add a breakpoint with Atom's node-debugger?

Question

I'm trying to use the Atom's package 'node-debugger' ( here ), but I can't find a way to add a breakpoint to a file. I tried using F9 being at the line but it does nothing. Any idea?

I'm on Mac El Capitan and node 0.10.40

Answer 1

You can use atom-bugs , I created it since I was looking for a better debugger for my favorite editor atom :) by the way node-debugger is a great tool but it does not satisfy my needs atom-bugs is more user friendly.

atom-bugs

Answer 2

I just use the debugger statement.

debugger;;

Adding an extra ";" seem to help in some circumstances. :-)
