Chrome DevTools target discovery does not work anymore with node

Question

I have a problem with chrome devTools who does not auto-discover target with any node process anymore.

For example, the following command node --inspect=127.0.0.1:9400 index.js return

Debugger listening on ws://127.0.0.1:9400/4478dde2-9b7e-483c-b4ec-65900a1c6922
For help, see: https://nodejs.org/en/docs/inspector
Debugger attached.
server started at 5888

The chrome://inspect/ page show that remote Target is detected Bug when using the devTools from the "Open dedicated DevTools for Node" link the connection is not detected, the console and even the context selector are empty, see screenshot.

Everything worked before and i didn't changed anything...

Any idea where to look at ?

• Node Version 10.15.0
• Chrome Version 73.0.3683.75 (Official).

I've experienced this too. Its a known issue at the moment, see here: https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/26887
