Windows node debugger: SyntaxError: missing ) after argument list

[briangruber]

I have an npm script like follows, trying to use node debugger support.

"scripts": {
    "debug": "node --inspect ./node_modules/.bin/micro-dev"   
  }

If I run npm run debug on WINDOWS I always get something like this:

basedir=$(dirname "$(echo "$0" | sed -e 's,\\,/,g')")
          ^^^^^^^

SyntaxError: missing ) after argument list

    at startup (bootstrap_node.js:187:16)
    at bootstrap_node.js:608:3

Is this a windows issue?

It seems to be, I solved it by replacing it with:

"scripts": {
    "debug": "node --inspect node_modules/micro-dev/bin/micro-dev.js"   
}

But it seems to be a bigger issue that just this project.
