> which debugger is it? Can you list exact steps to reproduce the issue?

1. Add the folliwing configuration to debuggers.json (Note that this is nix language and will generate the correct json)

      node = {
        run = {
          request = ["${pkgs.vscode-js-debug}/bin/js-debug""\${#run.port}"];
          port = 0;
        };
        configurations = {
          "Node (Launch)".request = {
            type = "pwa-node";
            request = "launch";
            program = ''''${file}'';
            args = ''''${args|list}'';
            cwd = ''''${workdir}'';
            stopOnEntry = true;
            sourceMaps = true;
            protocol = "inspector";
            console = "integratedTerminal";
            enableDWARF = true;
            env = ''''${env|list}'';
          };
        };
      };
