Why breakpoints not working?

[KhalitovAdel]

• VSCode Version: 1.37.1
• OS Version: Ubuntu 19.04

Steps to Reproduce:

1. I create launch.json

{
    "version": "0.2.0",
    "configurations": [
        {
            "type": "node",
            "request": "launch",
            "name": "Launch via NPM",
            "runtimeArgs": [
                "run-script",
                "debug"
            ],
            "port": 9229,
            "runtimeExecutable": "/home/adel/.nvm/versions/node/v8.12.0/bin/npm",
            "outFiles": ["${workspaceRoot}"],
        }
    ],
    "compounds": [
        {
            "name": "Compound",
            "configurations": []
        }
    ]
}

2. After create script in package.json
   "debug": "unset NODE_ENV && export NODE_ENV=dev_ms && babel-node server.js | node_modules/.bin/bunyan",
   When i start breakpoints not working. Why its so hard?

Are you sure that "babel-node server.js" runs node.js in debug mode?

Yes, I can see in console:

Debugger listening on ws://127.0.0.1:9229/92614092-563f-4c8b-a188-183e5dd45a95
For help see https://nodejs.org/en/docs/inspector

Now I changed launch.json

{
    "version": "0.2.0",
    "configurations": [
        {
            "type": "node",
            "request": "launch",
            "name": "Start",
            "runtimeExecutable": "/home/adel/.nvm/versions/node/v8.12.0/bin/npm",
            "runtimeArgs": [
                "run",
                "debug",
            ],
            "cwd": "${workspaceFolder}",
        },
        {
            "type": "node",
            "request": "attach",
            "name": "Listen",
        },
        {
            "name": "Do it",
            "configurations": ["Start", "Listen"], 
        }
    ],
}

When i start "Do it", appears window when i can choose Node.js, after that nothing happens! Why?

{
    "version": "0.2.0",
    "configurations": [
        {
            "type": "node",
            "request": "launch",
            "name": "Start",
            "runtimeExecutable": "/home/adel/.nvm/versions/node/v8.12.0/bin/npm",
            "runtimeArgs": [
                "run",
                "debug",
            ],
            "cwd": "${workspaceFolder}",
            "port": 9229
        },
        {
            "type": "node",
            "request": "attach",
            "name": "Listen",
        },
        
    ],
    "compounds": [
        {
            "name": "Do it",
            "configurations": ["Start", "Listen"],
        }
    ]
}

Thanks, I fixed all problems by this code
