--debugMocha not working with node 8.7

Issue by brucejo75 Wednesday Oct 25, 2017 at 20:47 GMT Originally opened as https://github.com/xolvio/chimp/issues/660

Trying to debug my mocha scripts. Used to work with node-inspector, but now with chrome debugging it does not work for me. Any workarounds?

Unless I hear better: I will fork chimp and submit a PR for --inspectMocha && --inspectBrkMocha options.

Environment

command line: chimp --debugMocha --ddp=http://localhost:3080 --mocha --chai --path=tests
chimp v0.50.2
node v8.7.0
java v1.8.0_144
OS Windows 10 1703 (OS Build 15063.674)

Results

>npm run chimp-dbg

> MERIS@1.0.0 chimp-dbg E:\mroot\meris
> chimp --debugMocha --ddp=http://localhost:3080 --mocha --chai --path=tests
