title: WebStorm debug breakpoints not working for Node.js project
body: <p>I am trying to set up debugging breakpoints in a Node project which is a React Native front end application.</p>
  <p>I am using WebStorm v2020.3 and Node v15.14.0</p>
  <p>My settings for the Node.js run configuration of the project:
  <a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/sgZdw.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/sgZdw.png" alt="My settings for the Node.js run configuration of the project are here." /></a></p>
  <p>I have set breakpoints across the project and none of them get triggered.</p>
  <p>My settings for the debug &quot;Attach to Node.js/Chrome&quot; run configuration:
  <a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/l4Oib.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/l4Oib.png" alt="My settings for the debug &quot;Attach to Node.js/Chrome&quot; run configuration are here" /></a></p>
  <p>First, I run the project and get this output:</p>
  <pre><code>/usr/local/bin/node --inspect-brk /Users/lachlangrant/Git/RN-BILLI-APP/node_modules/react-native/cli.js start
  Debugger listening on ws://127.0.0.1:9229/051a5d86-ad54-4a6c-bbaa-366bbe8a938e
  For help, see: https://nodejs.org/en/docs/inspector
  </code></pre>
  <p>Next, I run the debugger and get this output:</p>
  <pre><code>Debugger attached.

  <p>Then I trigger the breakpoint using an emulator in Xcode, and nothing happens.</p>
  <p>I have looked at a variety of threads including <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/30584923/webstorm-debugger-breakpoints-doesnt-work-in-nodejs?rq=1">this one</a>.</p>
  <p>Any ideas? Thanks in advance.</p>
