How to list scope variables in node debugger

Question

I was wondering if there was a way to list all scope variables (and possibly outer scopes as well) in the built in node.js debugger. So far I've managed to access the global scope using:

debug> repl
> global

but is there a function that lists local scope variables or a pointer to the local scope?
See the debugger commands and global object for more info.

That is your reason to use common node debugger instead of node-inspector? — 3y3

I'm debugging protractor tests, if there is a way to do that with node-inspector I'd be happy to use that. — Renaud

@RuslanIsmagilov this is specifically in a debugging context, the other question is more generic, but they're related indeed. — Renaud

no, currently it's not implemented in built in cli debugger. If you really need it I encourage you to try and add support yourself - the code is in /lib/_debugger.js and command is "scope". It's doable in less than 50 lines of code
