node-inspector with vim and CoffeeScript

I installed node-inspector with help of npm in the following way:

npm install --prefix /home/uqmlore1/apps/node_modules -g node-inspector

Now, I just wonder whether this plugin is for node-inspector or not.

If yes it is possible to integrate the the following commands in Vim? 

node-inspector &
coffee --nodejs --debug app.coffee &
google-chrome http://127.0.0.1:8080/debug?port=5858 &
google-chrome http://127.0.0.1:3000 &
Solution

  • No, it's not. It's an agent service similar to node-inspector, but instead of communicating to html-based devtools frontend over websockets it talks to vim using netbeans protocol. And strictly speaking it's not a vim plugin - you just start it after you started your script with --debug/--debug-brk switch, no need to copy to vim plugins. Feel free to ask questions (or better, open github issue if you need any help)
