Fuge's debug command

Fuge allows us to start a Node process in debug mode (also known as inspect mode).

The process type in the Fuge configuration file (fuge/fuge.yml) indicates any type of executable process that can be be run on the OS (Fuge is not limited to Node, it's programming language independent).

To enable Node debugging, Fuge must be explicitly told that a service is a Node process.

For exploration purposes, let's copy micro/fuge/fuge.yml to micro/fuge/fuge2.yml:

$ cd micro/fuge$ cp fuge.yml fuge2.yml 

Then in fuge2.yml we'll change the type field for the adderservice to node as follows:

adderservice:   type: node   path: ../adderservice   run: 'node service.js'   ports:- main=8080 

Now we'll start up the Fuge shell with the new configuration ...
