process.env.DEBUG still ignored in Electron

[blahah]

Even with v2.6.3, after #431 was merged, debug still ignores the DEBUG env var in electron. I have to manually transfer the env var to localstorage to make it work:

localStorage.setItem('debug', process.env.DEBUG)

Hmm. paging @paulcbetts, any idea here? I would have thought #431 should have fixed this?

Sorry I didn't provide more info before - was racing to a deadline. I'll take a deeper look now and see if I can suggest / PR a solution

Dunno, this works for me in v2.6.3 - do you have node-integration enabled? Also, one troll thing that happens is that, because so many people use visionmedia/debug, it is entirely possible that someone has loaded an earlier version in a module, which now is overriding your current version.

@paulcbetts yeah I think the latter may have been happening. I now can't recreate the bug. What is always happening is that whatever I set as DEBUG= gets auto-transferred to localStorage, but not by my code. I'll keep an eye out, but I think this can be closed for now.

Thanks all :)

Yay Javascript! I wonder how often people end up running 20+ versions of debug on their server hahaha
