NodeJS - a step-by-step debugger for NodeJS

I'm looking for effective way for step-by-step debugging NodeJS server code. At this moment I use dozens of console.log()'s and it's extremely hard. The perfect tool is one that would allow me to check the values of every variable in stack and trace my program line by line. Prefered OS = MacOS/Linux. Is it possible?

  • How about this?

    You can try to test for Nodeclipse version 0.2.0 beta.

Double-click on the ruler at the left end of the line you want to set a breakpoint.
