Prerequisites: Node.js 6.3+, Chrome 55+, nodeamon

• turn on chrome://flags/#enable-devtools-experiments & relaunch Chrome
• open devtools settings > experiments, press shift 6 times (lol, for real) and check node debugging box
• open & close devtools
• nodemon --watch . --inspect app.js
• connect to node in devtools (Sources > Threads (on the right) > Connect next to node)

Debugging tests: mocha --debug-brk --inspect --grep 'something' path/to/test.js

Or install node inspector manager and use with:

nodemon --watch . --inspect app.js
# or
mocha --debug-brk --inspect path/to/test/js
