NodeBB is a Node.js forum platform. To extend it, you can add plugins to its node_modules folder, for example, node_modules/nodebb-plugin-mychat.

When I place a breakpoint on NodeBB's app.js, it breaks fine. But if I place a breakpoint on my node_modules/nodebb-plugin-mychat/library.js, it doesn't work. I remember I had this issue in the past and that I had to mess with the launch.json file in order to get it working. I simply couldn't find the solution again so if someone could help me out on this, I'd appreciate it. This is my launch.json:

{
    "version": "0.2.0",
    "configurations": [
        {
            "type": "node",
            "request": "launch",
            "name": "Launch Program",
            "program": "${workspaceRoot}\\app.js",
            "console": "integratedTerminal"
        }
    ]
}

Some console logs:

PS D:\Desktop\openshift\NodeBB> cd 'd:\Desktop\openshift\NodeBB'; & 'node' '--inspect-brk=4648' 'app.js'

I remembered what I had done. Fixed the issue with this.

Basically my NodeBB plugin is a junction symlink:

So I had to add the following to my launch.json:

{
    "version": "0.2.0",
    "configurations": [
        {
            "type": "node",
            "request": "launch",
            "name": "Launch Program",
            "program": "${workspaceRoot}\\app.js",
            "console": "integratedTerminal",
            "runtimeArgs": [
                "--preserve-symlinks"
            ]
        }
    ]
}

Debugging works well now.
