There has been a change to Node.js that has broken Node.js debugger built into the web tools. According to the Node.js change log (https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/master/doc/changelogs/CHANGELOG_V6.md#6.3.0) the `--inspect` option was added in 6.3.0 to use the "inspector protocol" as an experimental feature which is different than the debugger protocol. Then the V8 changelog (https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/master/doc/changelogs/CHANGELOG_V8.md#8.0.0) says that in version 8.0.0 the --debug option was depreciated and that the option now triggers the new (and I assume no longer experimental) --inspect protocol. Because of this when I try to launch my application after the VM starts the debugger reports the connection to it timed out: Failed to connect to Standalone V8 VM connect timed out
I can't get the debugger to work either. An error message pops up which reads, "Failed to connect to Standalone V8 VM Timed out waiting for handshake". I've tried passing --inspect as "Node arguments" in the Debug Configuration window, but that didn't help.
