Error when running Node in debug mode

See original GitHub issue

If I try to use this module with Node in debug mode (started with node --debug --nolazy ./index.js) I get the following error:

Error: listen EADDRINUSE :::5858

I know, I’ve read the code before opening this issue. I’m not here to waste my time, and yours neither.

Just change this line to:

this.child = fork(worker, [], {execArgv: []});

and it’s fixed.

And as a personal suggestion: stop being a dick with the people who contribute to improve your work.

There is a caveat, because this is not in the ctx most people assume the default cwd is of the process that spawns the worker. It’s not possible to solve it in such a way that works for everyone without removing the vm context which kinda breaks the API and would be a value hit.
