How to debug with vscode?

See original GitHub issue

I added ts-jest to my project and the tests work fine (thx for that by the way! 😀 )

Unfortunately, I cannot properly debug the tests in vscode. I added the following launch config:

    {
      "name": "Tests",
      "type": "node",
      "request": "launch",
      "program": "${workspaceRoot}/node_modules/jest-cli/bin/jest.js",
      "stopOnEntry": false,
      "args": ["--runInBand", "--no-cache"],
      "cwd": "${workspaceRoot}",
      "preLaunchTask": null,
      "runtimeExecutable": null,
      "runtimeArgs": [
          "--nolazy"
      ],
      "env": {
          "NODE_ENV": "development"
      },
      "console": "internalConsole",
      "sourceMaps": true,
      "outDir": "${workspaceRoot}/dist/"
    },

I can run this config but vscode ignores all breakpoints. It complains:

Breakpoint ignored because generated code not found (source map problem?).

Any ideas?

OK, I just wanted to add a point to this discussion. I just added the “Jest” (v2.9.2) extension in vs-code and basically it takes care of everything. If you can run Jest, it will do the rest. If you go to the debugger section, it will add a special configuration for debugging Jest tests. Worked the first try for me. Really awesome work. So if you want to combine Jest, ts-jest, vscode and the debugger, this seems like the simplest route!

Also a quick note, you have to turn of coverage collection or your source maps will break
