Debugging Node.js

For Mac this will probably work: https://github.com/dannycoates/node-inspector

For windows:

1.) Install node-inspector globally like the github page says

npm install -g node-inspector

2.) Since our app is weird, you can't use start.js to debug. Use app_server:

node --debug server/app_server.js

3.) Launch another dos prompt node-inspector

4.) Open the URL http://127.0.0.1:8080/debug?port=5858 Open the scripts tag and set breakpoints. Run shit. Debug.

Disable Same Origin Policy from terminal:

open /Applications/Google\ Chrome.app/ --args --disable-web-security

Merge Tool Installation

Kinda follow this: http://www.geekgumbo.com/2010/05/12/installing-and-using-p4merge-in-git-for-windows/

1. Download Perforce here: http://www.perforce.com/downloads/complete_list
2. Run P4Merge once to get rid of the BS prompts
3. Reboot since it added C:\Program Files\Perforce to your PATH
4. Edit these 2 files: C:\Users\Paul.gitconfig D:\Work\shoutbreak_git.git.config

Add these lines to them:

[diff] tool = p4merge [difftool "p4merge"] cmd = "p4merge.exe $LOCAL $REMOTE" [merge] tool = p4merge [mergetool "p4merge"] cmd = "p4merge.exe $BASE $LOCAL $REMOTE $MERGED" trustExitCode = true keepBackup = false

The first file should save the setting globally. The second saves it only for your repo, and is probably overkill.

That's it.

git difftool to compare workspace to staging git difftool --cached to compare staging to latest commit

git mergetool will work if there are conflicts
