Can't pass --harmony flag into Node.JS Debugger?

Support Resolved
1

I’m using some ES6 features (WeakMaps) in my node project. I’m trying out Komodo IDE, and in the Debugger Options, I tried to pass in --harmony and/or --harmony-collections into the Interpreter Arguments and Script Arguments. The debugger session ends prematurely, and only through checking Debug in Separate Console did I see that node does not recognize what WeakMaps are, therefore the flag(s) are not being correctly passed in.

Am I doing something wrong?

Are you able to run your script from the command line? Ie. node myscript.js.

I can, but I need to pass in the harmony flag:

node --harmony src/app.js
4

And without that is the error the exact same as it is in Komodo?

When I run my app from the command line, with the harmony flag, there are no errors and my app runs as expected.

When I try to run or debug from within Komodo, I get this error:

/Users/andrew/app/node_modules/mozart/lib/class.js:7
var constructorToClassMap = new WeakMap();
                                ^

Press RETURN to continue ...

(Mozart is a classical inheritance library that uses WeakMaps to create private variables.)

My debug options window is set up as so:

Confirmed - Komodo is not passing the interpreter argument (–harmony) to node, I’ve added a bug on this problem here:
