Cannot start Node.js function with debugger enabled

[jsumners-nr]

local.settings.json:

{
  "IsEncrypted": false,
  "Values": {
    "FUNCTIONS_WORKER_RUNTIME": "node",
    "AzureWebJobsStorage": "",
    "languageWorkers__node__arguments": "--inspect-brk"
  }
}

With that configuration set, func start will result in:

Starting inspector on 127.0.0.1:9229 failed: address already in use

If I set --inspect-brk=9330 then the same error occurs with a different port. How do I start this thing with the debugger available?

Thank you for reporting this issue.

The error message suggests that the default debugger port (9229) is already in use by another process on your system. To resolve this, try specifying a different debugger port explicitly using the --port flag on a different port to see if that resolves the issue. Let us know if you encounter further difficulties!

The only process is the one reported. Your tool is doing this to itself.

I am not seeing this issue when I try to debug via this setting - transferring to the node worker team for further guidance
