Please fix this.  I can't roll back to a previous version of Chrome and yes, breakpoints do not work.

Bump

Heads up to those who are running into the same problem.  An alternative route is to use a different Chromium browser: https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/alternative-chromium-browsers/

I am using Vivaldi with the NiM Chrome extension and breakpoints are working just fine.

You can now change DevTools versions using NiM version 1.0.0

So an alternate browser is not needed as changing the default DevTools version will fix the current issue with Chrome.

With the latest Chrome 69, my NiM was no longer attaching dev tools to my node server... Eg none of my server files appeared in Sources.

Following the youtube link fixed that problem - now node reports "Debugger attached" and my server code appears in Sources, but now breakpoints are not stopping again.

@6...@onezerohosting.com what exactly should I have in the DevTools Version (custom): string to make it work?  I'm using "chrome-devtools://devtools/bundled/js_app.html" (from the video).

Hang on... I noticed that the URL node reports when the debugger connects works:

To start debugging, open the following URL in Chrome:
chrome-devtools://devtools/remote/serve_file/@60cd6e859b9f557d2312f5bf532f6aec5f284981/inspector.html?experiments=true&v8only=true&ws=XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:9229/87cc6788-50c8-4ac7-80ab-61cdb3946cab

And debugging works too with this URL!  

So I put this into the custom: field in NiM: 

chrome-devtools://devtools/remote/serve_file/@60cd6e859b9f557d2312f5bf532f6aec5f284981/inspector.html

Works too!

Unfortunately, the "chrome-devtools://devtools/remote/serve_file" url returns a "HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found" page here.

And the "chrome-devtools://devtools/bundled/inspector.html?" url shows the sources, but doesn't let me hit any breakpoints.


Chrome: 69.0.3497.100 (64-bits)
NiM: 1.1.0
Windows: 10 (1803, build 17134.345)

@stephan....@gmail.com you need that full URL with the @... bit (and the @... bit will be based on your own environment): 

chrome-devtools://devtools/remote/serve_file/@60cd6e859b9f557d2312f5bf532f6aec5f284981/inspector.html

I don't know how often that @60cd6e859b9f557d2312f5bf532f6aec5f284981 bit changes. If it changes often, it will take away much of the NiM convenience.

Could someone try dedicated frontend (or chrome://inspect) in latest Google Chrome Canary on Mac or Windows (version 71) with latest Node 10.12? We merged some fixes to our frontend and to Node by itself and I hope that it should help.

Using the NiM "appspot" option (under options) works for me in all cases:

https://chrome-devtools-frontend.appspot.com/serve_file/@a10b9cedb40738cb152f8148ddab4891df876959/inspector.html

It is amazing that NiM can resolve this problem but it achieves it by running old DevTools frontend, this solution won't help with fixing the root of this issue and do not allow to use a lot of new nice DevTools features, e.g. live evaluation in console.
Please let's focus on fixing DevTools, I believe that dedicated frontend from latest Google Chrome Canary with latest Node 10.x release should work with any kind of remote debugging sessions.
I am going to test new frontend against Node 8 on Windows at the beginning of next week as soon as I get access to windows machine.

I verified that canary fixes the debugging issue for node v8 & node v10.
see: https://github.com/ChromeDevTools/devtools-protocol/issues/103#issuecomment-429649817

Actually updated NiM (1.2.0) to use the most up to date version of DevTools (Chrome 71) as the default "appspot" as well as adding info on how to better use the custom setting https://june07.com/blog/nim-custom-devtools-url.

So all of the nice DevTools features are available via NiM and with all versions of Chrome (and Chromium based browsers), not just Chrome Canary.  This was previously the case if using the appropriate URL in the custom setting, but now it's the default "appspot" option.

Glad to hear the Canary version is working now!

I also verified that remote breakpoints are working on version 71.0.3573.0 (Chrome Dev on windows) with both node 8.11.3 and 10.12.0. Thanks.

I've verified that the breakpoints work fine in 
Chrome 69.0.3497.100
Windows 10 Home (64-bit)
NodeJS v8.12.0

 Issue 901731  has been merged into this issue.

I verified that released build: Version 71.0.3578.80 (Official Build) (64-bit) repairs this issue.  All working now.

@brucejo75 Thank you for feedback. I'll close the bug.
