node-inspector blank screen on windows

I can't seem to get node-inspector to work on windows I'm trying to debug this script:

app.js

console.log('HELLO WORLD');

debugger;

console.log('HELLO DEBUGGER');
setInterval(function () {
    debugger;
    console.log('HELLO');
}, 10000);

I tried following things, with and without elevated permissions:

node-debug app.js
//
node-inspector 
node --debug-brk app.js

In any event, If I navigate in chrome to http://localhost:8080/debug?port=5858
I just get a blank screen with an empty toolbar above and a grey toolbar below.

If I look into the devtools, it seems like chrome is waiting for the websocket to establish, the ws://localhost:8080/ws?port=5858 keeps 'pending'

Versions:

Windows 7 Pro x64
node-inspector v0.7.3
node v0.10.26
chrome 33.0.1750.154 m
chrome 36.0.1930.0 canary

I'm running chrome with --disable-extensions

I can't seem to find any error logs, so I'm not sure where to go from here. How I can fix / debug this ?

Solution

  • Problem was the virus scanner. I was using "Ad-Aware, Free Antivirus+", uninstalled it, everything works fine.
