configure debug port?
matyus opened this issue · comments
I am in a situation where I'm running two separate servers on my computer and they both want to use the same port (but can't) so I was hoping to change it for one of them... However, the only solution I've found it outside the scope of the gruntfile configuration, something like node --debug=7000 app.js (ie. http://stackoverflow.com/a/18911247).
Am I just missing something obvious, or is it possible to alter the default debug port from 5858 in the gruntfile?
You should be able to use the usual:
$ PORT=5858 grunt
as you would:
$ PORT=5858 node app.js
Alternatively, you can specify the port option as well.
Since it sounds like you have a single entry-point that starts up two servers, my preferred approach is having the primary use the default or specified PORT variable (usually 3000) while the other uses (process.env.PORT || 3000) + 1.
Ah, I see now. (Didn't click the link the 1st time). As mentioned via the README, you should be able to add additional opts for the node command: opts: ['--debug=5858'].
@ericclemmons adding the flag to the opts array certainly works. thank you!
