util.inspect on Node.js 5.x.x Causing Issues

I have a project that we use this module in. Upon making a request to createContainerIfNotExists, the project continues to execute as if the call happened but it does not. The module will eventually get to this line and stop:

self.logger.log(Logger.LogLevels.DEBUG, 'FINAL REQUEST OPTIONS:\n' + util.inspect(finalRequestOptions));

Calling util.inspect lands up eventually getting to this following block of code within node’s util.js:

function ensureDebugIsInitialized() {
  if (Debug === undefined) {
    const runInDebugContext = require('vm').runInDebugContext;
    Debug = runInDebugContext('Debug');
  }
}

The last line, Debug = runInDebugContext(‘Debug’); lands up never returning and the promise that called it never returns/ends. This completely causes all debugging for the app that makes use of your module to stop working.

@tSreeram Thanks for sharing. @atom0s I am going to close the issue. Please feel free to reopen it if the latest Nodejs doesn’t work for you. Thanks.

I also faced similar util.inspect issue. But after upgrade to NodeJS 5.6 (latest) the debugger issue is resolved.
