I have a simple Node.js service using Bot Builder SDK, working with the Bot Emulator, running on localhost:3978. When I try to use IntelliJ 2016.3.3. Node.js remote debug on 5858 after starting my server node --debug-brk app.js, it's unable to connect to it. However, I am able to attach to process and debug on MSFT VSCode just fine.

My Node version is v7.4.0.

BTW, why do you use remote debugging to debug your bot? As it's running locally, you can just use Node.js run configuration to debug it
