Doesn't run the server script passed as src

[Aranir]

in the terminal the following works:
node-debug build/src/main.js

I therefore assumed the following configuration would lead to the same result:

    gulp.src(['build/src/main.js'])
    .pipe(nodeInspector());

but I only get the following output:

[11:23:26] gulp-node-inspector is using node-inspector v0.12.8
[11:23:26] Visit http://127.0.0.1:8080/?port=5858 to start debugging.

Without the server starting, the debugger is running but no sources are available and when I navigate to the server port (localhost:3000), it is not reachable.

What is required to do to get the exact same behavior as using the node-debug command in the terminal?

@Aranir did you figure this out? I'm having the same problem.

[Aranir]

@javaguy No I'm sorry haven't investigate further. I had to focus back on my core project which uses another build tool. I hope you will figure it out!

The issue here is that in addition to running node-inspector, node also needs to be run in debug mode. I was using gulp-live-server, and here is my config to get it to run. The following should have the same behavior as node-debug myserverscript.js:

gulp.task('debug', function() {
    // Enable debugging with node-inspector
    gulp.src([])
        .pipe(nodeInspector({
      debugPort: 5858,
      saveLiveEdit: true
    }));

    // Start the server and set the debug flag
    server = gls.new(['--debug', 'myserverscript.js'], undefined, false);
    server.start();
});
