Doesn't work with the ava test runner

I'm using inspect ava --serial some-test-file.js.

I've just tried debugging a trivial file as a sanity check and it worked.

Perhaps ava is using child processes with the --serial option, as well...

After a quick review, looks like ava is using fork under the hood. There is a small chance it is possible to support child process, but its fairly hacky (see #5).

Thanks for the report.

[mightyiam]

Perhaps it could be ava's job to provide an API for debugging child processes.

[mightyiam]

But why stop there? Perhaps node could provide such an API.

[jaridmargolin]

Hmmm.. I don't see a clear path for ava to provide an API for this. Possibly at a lower level node would be able to expose easier hooks, but its not really clear to me.

I am going to close this particular issue. If you want to follow any progress inspect-process is capable of making, see #5.

FWIW it works fine with AVA when running it via the profile file (and it should work with the --serial flag too)

inspect node_modules/ava/profile.js test-file.js

Yup. I wrote the page:

Thanks @gillesdemey @mightyiam!
