Avi Flax wrote a very interesting article about Profiling Node Programs on Mac OS X. However, if you manage your Node.js installation with homebrew, you can use the following scripts to install the V8 debugger separately.
Just download this Gist, make install.sh executable with chmod u+x install.sh and run the script.
| #!/bin/sh | |
| export D8_PATH=/usr/local/bin | |
| coffee --nodejs --prof $@ | |
| echo "\rProcessing v8.log ..." | |
| /usr/local/bin/tools/mac-tick-processor >> v8-processed.log |
| git clone https://github.com/v8/v8.git | |
| if [ ! -d "v8" ]; then | |
| echo "Error: Could not clone V8" | |
| exit 1 | |
| fi | |
| cd v8 | |
| scons d8 | |
| if [ ! -f "d8" ]; then | |
| echo "Error: Compiled 'd8' not found." | |
| exit 1 | |
| fi | |
| cp -R d8 tools /usr/local/bin | |
| echo "You can remove the cloned v8 repo now." | |
| chmod u+x node-profile coffee-profile | |
| cp node-profile coffee-profile /usr/local/bin | |
| exit 0 |
| #!/bin/sh | |
| export D8_PATH=/usr/local/bin | |
| node --prof $@ | |
| echo "\rProcessing v8.log ..." | |
| /usr/local/bin/tools/mac-tick-processor >> v8-processed.log |
