using node inspect flag causes jsreport to freak out

deathgaze

When I try to start my app with node --inspect flags, jsreport freaks out. here's what it looks like:

Debugger listening on ws://0.0.0.0:9219/a620d8c9-a413-4a0f-aa25-529cd46dc631
For help see https://nodejs.org/en/docs/inspector
Debugger attached.

Here you can see I launch the process with the --inspect-brk=0.0.0.0:9219 flag. Then, for some unknown reason, the inspector appears to try to start again, which crashes the app.

Hm, it works for me in vscode, the output looks like this.
Just a note, I guess it don't help you.

hi! i made some comments here why using --inspect in this way will not work for jsreport, in the link you will find two solutions if you want to debug jsreport process. these days i just use ndb which handles the debugging workflow smoothly no matter if there is just single process or multiple processes in app. just FYI, in case it helps you.
