Internal Error: Illegal Access

[griffinmacias]

Node version 6.0.0
Node Inspector 0.12.8
Express 4.13.4

1. node-debug app.js
2. open the inspector and press play
3. open the localhost:3000
4. works then set breakpoint on 'res.send() line';
5. reload localhost:3000
6. internal error: illegal access

I am aware of the issue #413 and my issue might be related. Why am I getting this error, I am not able to set a breakpoint anywhere.

Same problem, and happens only with Node 6.0

Same here

I have this issue only if I try to debug ES6 code. I run node-inspector and then invoking babel-node debug -- myscript.js. It breaks on the first line of a script and everything seems fine, but then it hangs and after some times outputs the error message.

Do you know any workarounds?

Sorry for any misleading thoughts. I'm completely new to the whole js stack.

As a work around you can use --debug-brk argument which will enable a breakpoint on the first line of the script you run. Your debug session will work as expected.

Thanks @rcosnita, that works

[theHazzard]

it didn't work for me
every time that I try to debug inside a callback from requestjs it throws Illegal Access

Also not working for me - already using --debug-brk.

Error gets thrown no matter where I put my breakpoint.

Same problem here. Node 6+ when setting breakpoint on a callback.

As part of my work i've had to track down what was causing this issue in our setup (not node, but we use node inspector). The culmination of that investigation was https://bugs.chromium.org/p/v8/issues/detail?id=5010.The symptoms were the same, and as @rcosnita they seemed to improved when using --debug-brk in some cases. So i suspect they are likely the same, im going to start looking to fix this on monday.
