Can this hardcoded thing be removed? This page is honestly going to be removed soon, alongside all the guide pages, with the content refresh.
It is shown when
nodeis launched with--inspectargument, e.g.$ node --inspect -e "console.log(123)" Debugger listening on ws://127.0.0.1:9229/0f2c936f-b1cd-4ac9-aab3-f63b0f33d55e For help, see: https://nodejs.org/en/docs/inspector 123 >

I guess it might be still useful, so if there will be any alternative hint to provide to users, we can replace it with new link.
Having https://nodejs.org/en/docs/inspector as301redirect would also be helpful for users who have outdated version.Reacted by Claudio WunderI mean, I don't mind adding a redirect for now, but I wonder how useful it is. Also, how outdated the /docs/inspector guide is.
All these old guides are going to be removed in a few months, so I would argue it's better to redirect people to API docs (https://nodejs.org/api/cli.html#--inspecthostport) for example.
I'm fine making the redirect going over the API docs, it's just that this "Guide" page from nodejs.org is going to be eventually removed.
No idea how useful it is, opened PR in
nodeso it can be discussed there. 😅AFAICT so far, it was added to point specifically on guide that covers nuances and caveats, so right now pointing on https://nodejs.org/en/docs/guides/debugging-getting-started might be better than on API docs.
Reacted by Claudio WunderI appreciate the effort, @LiviaMedeiros! But I feel that fixing the current redirect is a better approach, so people also using older versions of Node do not get affected.
The point that we need discuss is as this page will get removed, to where should we redirect, and/or if we should simply add this page to the new "Learn Pages".

Reacted by Livia Medeiros@Trott do you know anyone that would have an opinion on this? I just want an experienced opinion from someone else, so I can not too hardly stay attached on my opinion 😅
