DEBUG=node-gcm seems to not be working properly?

[bigthyme]

I'm on node-gcm latest version and setting the DEBUG flag as a bash variable yields nothing out of the ordinary. Is there something else I need to do asides from setting this flag and installing the npm Debug module?

This works for me. What exactly are you typing into the console?

[hypesystem]

This is what I get:

$ DEBUG=node-gcm ./node_modules/.bin/mocha -R spec test/**/*Spec.js

Lines like the following are only produced when DEBUG=node-gcm is set:

node-gcm Unauthorized (401). Check that your API token is correct. +0ms

I'm just adding the following line to my code and no new log items are showing.

process.env.DEBUG = 'node-gcm';

[hypesystem]

It works when calling it as shown above, by including the flag in the command you use to run you app.

DEBUG=node-gcm node app.js

I will look into setting the flag in code (and whether this is possible), but I generally wouldn't recommend always running with debug mode on :)

(Oops. Accidental close.)

[hypesystem]

It should probably be clarified in the README how to actually use the DEBUG flag

[hypesystem]

The issue of setting the flag programatically should probably be taken over to the debug repository's issues.
