Running node-inspector and node-debug with npm run - node.js

Question

How to run two script at once with npm run?
First of all I know grunt or gulp but I want to make it without another js modules.
To make this I have this script:
"scripts": {
"start": "node ./node/www",
"nodemon": "./node_modules/.bin/nodemon node/www.js -i './e2e-tests/**' -i './node_modules/**' -i '.idea/**' -i './node/log/**' -w './node/server/**/*' -V -L",
"nodeInspector": "./node_modules/.bin/node-inspector --save-live-edit=true",
"debug": "node-debug ./node/www.js",
"ins": "npm run nodeInspector & npm run debug"
}
I want to run with npm run ins but it only fires node-inspector.

Answer 1

It is not possible to run both commands. They each need their own console

Answer 2

If node-debug comes from node-inspector package, then you don't need to start a new node-inspector instance, node-debug will start it automatically for you.
This is what node-debug performs under the hood (source code):
Run node-inspector.
Run the supplied script in debug mode
Open the user's browser, pointing it at the inspector.
In fact, running both node-inspector and node-debug will not work as intended, as the second node-inspector instance won't be able to attach to the same port where the first instance already listens.

I couldn't make it happen on one line that's why I changed to grunt with concurrent:
module.exports = function(grunt) {
grunt.initConfig({
concurrent: {
options: {
limit: 3,
logConcurrentOutput: true
},
debug: {
tasks: ['node-inspector', 'nodemon:debug'],
options: {
logConcurrentOutput: true
}
}
},
nodemon: {
dev: {
script: "node/www.js",
options: {
ignore: ['node/public/**'],
callback: function (nodemon) {
nodemon.on('log', function (event) {
console.log(JSON.stringify(event));
});
// opens browser on initial server start
nodemon.on('config:update', function () {
console.log("nodemon config:update oldu");
// Delay before server listens on port
setTimeout(function() {
require('open')('http://localhost:3000');
}, 1000);
});
// refreshes browser when server reboots
nodemon.on('restart', function () {
// Delay before server listens on port
setTimeout(function() {
//require('fs').writeFileSync('.rebooted', 'rebooted');
}, 1000);
});
}
}
},
debug: {
script: './node/www.js',
options: {
ignore: ['node/log/*.log','node/public/**','node/views/**','doc/**','e2e-tests/**','.idea'],
callback: function (nodemon) {
nodemon.on('log', function (event) {
console.log("Nodemon debug callback fonksiyonu nodemon.onLog olayı");
});
// opens browser on initial server start
nodemon.on('config:update', function () {
console.log("Nodemon debug callback fonksiyonu nodemon.onConfig:Update olayı");
// Delay before server listens on port
setTimeout(function() {
require('open')('http://localhost:3000');
require('open')('http://localhost:1337/debug?port=5858');
}, 1000);
});
// refreshes browser when server reboots
nodemon.on('restart', function () {
console.log("Nodemon debug callback fonksiyonu nodemon.onRestart olayı");
// Delay before server listens on port
setTimeout(function() {
//require('fs').writeFileSync('.rebooted', 'rebooted');
}, 1000);
});
},
nodeArgs: ['--debug'],
watch: ['Gruntfile.js', 'node/server', 'package.json']
}
}
},
'node-inspector': {
custom: {
options: {
'web-port': 1337,
'web-host': 'localhost',
'debug-port': 5857,
'save-live-edit': true,
'no-preload': true,
'stack-trace-limit': 4,
'hidden': ['node_modules']
}
}
}
});
require('matchdep').filterDev('grunt-*').forEach(grunt.loadNpmTasks);
// Çalışması test edildi ve iki pencerede hem test hem uygulama açıyor.
grunt.registerTask('nodemon-debug', ['concurrent:debug']);
};

I managed to run node-inspector and nodemon from a script using concurently
https://www.npmjs.com/package/concurrently
"dev": "npm install && concurrently \"node-inspector --web-port 9090\" \"nodemon --debug .\""
