Breakpoint debugger for sails.js

I am trying and unable to get basic breakpoints working in a new sails sails application.

I am creating a new sail project called test and added a couple of lines of code so that I can hit the route and try to start a breakpoint in my terminal:

//  app/controllers/TestController.js

module.exports = {
  test: function (req, res) {
    console.log('test');
    debugger;
    return res.json({
      text: 'hello',
    });
  }
}

      

        
        
        
      

    

in the routes file:

//  /config/routes.js
'get /test': 'TestController.test',

      

        
        
        
      

    

then I go to my terminal and use nodemon to start the sails server with:

$ nodemon debug -w . app.js

      

        
        
        
      

    

My one caveat is that this solution should work with something like nodemon, forever or overseer, which will allow the reneload function on the server node
