option to resume automatically when connecting to node.js

Reported by jdarpin...@gmail.com, Aug 28 2017

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/60.0.3112.101 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
I use node --inspect-brk to ensure the debugger connects before my code runs (so breakpoints are set). However this introduces an extra manual step of pressing "resume" every time node restarts. Can we have an option to automatically resume execution when connecting to node?

What is the expected behavior?

What went wrong?

Did this work before? N/A 

Chrome version: 60.0.3112.101  Channel: n/a

You should be able to simply run --inspect and connect later, or does it not cover some specifics of your scenario? Do you have breakpoints early in the cycle that you don't want to miss?
Yes, I have breakpoints early in the cycle that I don't want to miss.

Makes sense. It is not hard to support, but please file a bug against node - we would need to support it on their end.

Since it would need to be a new flag with a new name on node, it might take time...

Closing it here in favor of a bug on Node side. +eostroukhov@ for the implementation.

Ah, eostroukhov@ is saying that you've been there! And he is suggesting to make it an option on the front-end side. Let's make it happen. Open again!

No plans to implement this at this time. Main issue is designing a proper UX that will not result in users losing an ability to debug new Node scripts.
