--inspect-brk support, including ESM?

[ajvincent]

Hi, all. I've been using NodeJS's --inspect-brk argument for years, and recently started using ts-node to avoid emitting files unnecessarily.

Unfortunately, I ran into a bug and I can't figure out how to use --inspect-brk with my project. package.json

Part of my trouble is I couldn't find much documentation on typestrong.org/ts-node about debugging, and none on the --inspect option. So, whatever the answer is, I'd like to see the docs updated, please.

Solved, by reading a little more documentation: https://typestrong.org/ts-node/docs/configuration/#node-flags

If I add --inspect-brk to the NODE_OPTIONS environment variable, I do get the debugging capability.
