Document --require option #28

Open cowwoc opened 7 years ago

cowwoc commented 7 years ago

Can you please document the --require option and tell users that they will need to use this when trying to run gulp/grunt behind babel-register?

It took me forever to get this working until I ran across this comment: https://github.com/jaridmargolin/inspect-process/issues/8#issuecomment-259539429

I'm assuming that --require is passed on to node like any other argument? Has nothing to do with this package, if so. That's how I see it.

@cowwoc - The comment you referenced is from v0.3.X where shorthand aliases were not working. Is this what you are referring to? A patch was released and it should be working now.

If this is indeed the case. I think maybe you could have benefited from a changelog being present?

cowwoc commented 7 years ago

I think @mightyiam is right. I was not aware of the --require node option. I never had to use it before.

I have historically just invoked gulp and babel-register would get invoked automatically. I don't think I would have figured out that I needed to add --require by myself.

That said, this is probably out of scope for this project. Feel free to close this issue.

Ok great. Thanks @mightyiam.

I am still curious why invoking gulp standalone results in babel-register automatically being invoked, but when being proxied through inspect the --require flag is necessary.

cowwoc commented 7 years ago

Same here, but you should be able to reproduce the same behavior on your end.
