Steps to Reproduce:

1. Run a TypeScript program inside WSL with ./node_modules/.bin/ts-node --inspect=3001 --project ./src/server ./src/server/index.ts
2. Run the following launch configuration:

{
  "version": "0.2.0",
  "configurations": [
    {
      "type": "node",
      "request": "attach",
      "name": "Attach",
      "port": 3001,
      "restart": true,
      "protocol": "inspector",
      "localRoot": "${workspaceFolder}",
      "remoteRoot": "/mnt/c/Users/Carlos/Dev/personal/boilerplates/express-react"
    }
  ]
}

3. Any breakpoints in my .ts files are greyed out and have the tooltip "Breakpoints set but not yet bound".

If I run the same command from Windows command prompt and run the same debug configuration without localRoot and remoteRoot I can hit breakpoints perfectly.

I also notice that when run from Windows, I have some output of my program in the Debug Console stating the file's origin as file:///c%3A/Users/Carlos/Dev/personal/boilerplates/express-react/src/server/index.ts while when run from WSL it's debug:/mnt/c/Users/Carlos/Dev/personal/boilerplates/express-react/src/server/index.ts?session%3D6747a367-f75f-4749-8249-57bc7bf64603%26ref%3D1001. Not sure if that's relevant.

I adding the following launch configuration:

    {
      "type": "node",
      "request": "launch",
      "name": "Launch",
      "runtimeExecutable": "yarn",
      "runtimeArgs": [
        "dev"
      ],
      "port": 3001,
      "useWSL": true
    }

Where yarn dev is nodemon --inspect=3001 --watch src/server --ext ts --exec ./node_modules/.bin/ts-node --project ./src/server ./src/server/index.ts and I get the same issue with the breakpoints.

Any updates on this? I'm experiencing the same problem.

[RDeluxe]

Same problem here, with my code running in a docker container

[hjnp]

same problem, with node v8.10 + nodemon + typescript

If you have your testing framework setup to collect coverage, that could be the problem. Try turning off coverage while debugging.

Haven't encountered this again.
