debugger is not being hit on OSX

[Qix-]

Currently can't use IronNode due to breakpoints being cleared upon reload on OS X (cmd-R).

Is this a known bug? Is there a workaround?

Also, why in the world does it not honor debugger; statements?

[s-a]

You have the filesystem version in view. You cannot set breakpoints there. while a Debugger statement should always work. But be shure you are viewing the in memory version of you JavaScript by double check the code is surounded by the node module wrapper code to set breakpoints.
If the Debugger does not trigger : Is it possible the code will never be reached?

Setting a breakpoint in the memory version didn't work, either. Why can't I set breakpoints in the files? That makes no sense.

The debugger statement was being hit - that was the main script being called. The command was literally

$ iron-node ./test.js

node-debug worked just fine. That's what I had to use.

Cannot reproduce this behavior on windows 10 ironNode 3.0.4. Setting breakpoints works and debugger breaks code execution without problems.

Alright, that's on Windows 10. Obviously this is an OS X specific bug... node-debug works just fine.

That also doesn't explain why debugger; didn't work.

pls try the latest release of electron. Will publish a version in a few seconds

think I'm having the same issue, sorry if I filed a duplicate #108. iron-node v2.2.15

Unfortunately I do not work with Mac anymore. So I can not support this issue directly.
Can you try to upgrade electron to latest version in ironNode 3.x?

Otherwise we need to create an issue at the electron repo.

electron-prebuilt 1.2.2 seems to have resolved the issue for me on OSX
