When debugging a node session and you stop in the debugger, the Variables view shows "Collecting data..." but the data never arrives:

This happens with node version 0.10.34 and 0.10.35 of node.

    For debugging use node 0.10.33 or earlier. See also "http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7718313/how-to-change-to-an-older-version-of-node-js" – Michael_Scharf Jan 04 '15 at 16:08
  • what IDE version do you work with? Is the problem specific to the code being bebugged, or shows up with each and every variable? – lena Jan 05 '15 at 18:02
  • There are problems with pycharm 3.4 but webstorm 9.0.2 is ok. It seems to be a problem with any variable. – Michael_Scharf Jan 05 '15 at 23:05
  • Please try upgrading PyCharm to v. 4.* - it should include node.js debugger performance fixes available in WebStorm 9.0.2 – lena Jan 07 '15 at 15:57
  • Wow! I did not know that there is a pycharm 4 -- when I go "Check for Updates" pycharm 3.4 tells me it is the latest. – Michael_Scharf Jan 07 '15 at 17:42
  • PyCham4 does solve the problem (and it works with my current license). I am still puzzled why I missed that it exists... – Michael_Scharf Jan 07 '15 at 23:43
  • Same Problem here but if i run the process using PhpStorm directly it works – Psi Jan 17 '15 at 16:06
  • Switching node version to 0.10.33 fixes the problem for me. – David Groff Feb 05 '15 at 19:48

I have experienced the same problem with Jet brains once I installed Node v.6.0.0.

The solution was:

  1. Install nvm (node version manager).

  2. Debug your programs with Node version pointed to v.5.8.0

Upgrage to 2016.2 and this issue is fixed. Now you can use node 6 with debugging and works perfectly fine.
