Description

I'd like to add the --trace_exception option to node when running node-dev. Is there such an option? It appears that this is not possible ...

child = spawn(node, [options.run].concat(process.argv.slice(3)));

Research direction

Start at the child-process invocation shown in the issue, where node-dev calls spawn with options.run and process.argv.slice(3). Trace how command-line arguments are assembled and check whether --trace_exception reaches the child Node process. Done means the option is supported when running node-dev, with behavior confirmed using the available project checks.
