How to debug a Gulp task?

Question

How do I debug a gulp task defined in my gulpfile.js with a debugger such as the Google Chrome debugger, stepping through the task\'s code line by line?

I liked the answer of @Avi Y. but I suppose people would had appreciated a more complete script :

gulp.task('nodemon', ['sass'], function(cb) {
var started = false;
    consoleLog('nodemon started');
return nodemon({
    //HERE REMOVE THE COMMENT AT THE BEGINING OF THE LINE YOU NEED
    //exec: 'node --inspect --debug-brk node_modules/gulp/bin/gulp.js', 
    exec: 'node --inspect --debug-brk',
    //exec: 'node --inspect',
    script: path.server,
    ignore: ['*/gulpfile.js', 'node_modules/*'],
    verbose: true
}).on('start', function() {
    if (!started) {
        cb();
        started = true;
    }
}).on('restart', function() {
    consoleLog('nodemon restarted the server');
});});
