After upgrading to node 8.9.3 nodemon fails to start inspector:

$ node --inspect dist/src/index.js

nodemon.json

{
  "restartable": "rs",
  "verbose": true,
  "delay": "500ms",
  "watch": [
    "dist/",
    "node_modules/"
  ],
  "ext": "js",

  ]
}

Expected Behavior

I should see the url and port data for the new inspector debug session

Actual Behavior

The --inspect flag is ignored

Actually it seems to be ignoring all the passed in flags.

I'm using nodemon -r <package> index.js and its not passing the -r flag.

I ran into this today when installing my node modules from scratch (got 1.12.6). Changing to use explicitly 1.12.3 got the inspect flag respected again.

[nathanchapman]

Same issue. 1.12.5 works with flags, 1.12.6 does not.

Acknowledged. Got a fix pending, next release inbound.

[remy]

1.12.7 should fix this.
