Node-inspector is ignoring my bin folder entirely

I'm trying to debug my REST-API unit tests (mocha) with node-inspector, and I need to set a breakpoint inside of a file that is located within a folder called "bin" inside of my project, however, node-inspector is either completely ignoring it or not recognizing it for some reason. Some screenshots for comparison:

1) My code editor's file tree (the correct one) -

2) The node-inspector's file tree -

Thanks in advance.

Solution

  • So I went ahead and renamed the folder to 'server' or something perhaps more arbitrary than 'bin', but I'm quite sure that more importantly I added a ".js" extension to the file 'www'. That worked for me. Perhaps node-inspector solely looks for javascript files in the given directory.
