heroku local web error

[CharlBest]

Hi.
I was following the Getting Started on Heroku with Node.js tutorial and then when I ran "heroku local web" it gave me this error:

I then removed the debug flag in the Procfile and it worked.

The documentation also shows the Procfile without the debug file.

Not sure if its a bug or not or maybe node version mismatch but thought I'd let you guys know.

First time using Heroku. Really liking it!

Update: I see it was added 20 days ago in commit 1822367#diff-5bd6b85c2d6fc987875f4bf82de2a15a

I encountered the same problem in testing this. Another way to fix it is by installing node --inspect, like this npm install --save --save-exact node --inspect . After that, in your Procfile, you can replace --debug with --inspect and it should work.
