How to debug an npm application

I'm using run/debug configurations to run npm application: enter image description here

and I run it in debug mode.

I don't know why but the application does not stop in breakpoints I put in the code.

The command I have in package.json is:

"serve": "tsc && concurrently \"nodemon app.js\" "tsc --watch"

For WebStorm versions <= 2018.3.x, you need adding %NODE_DEBUG_OPTION% variable to your script, like:

"tsc": "tsc && concurrently \"nodemon %NODE_DEBUG_OPTION% src/main.js\" \"tsc --watch\""

These articles might be helpful: IntelliJ IDEA how to correctly pass $NODE_DEBUG_OPTION to npm-run-all and http://pavelpolyakov.com/2016/05/01/webstorm-npm-tasks-debug/.

Since 2019.1, it won't be required
