Any update on this?

Having the same issue on node v10

[Kiina]

Node-inspector won't work in anything higher then node 6, because the new tools build into node make it mostly useless. I would suggest you throw it out of your project and use the new devtools

@Kiina how do we use this with Grunt tasks?
