Breakpoints are no longer hit when using the latest chrome debugger in vscode

See original GitHub issue

Describe the bug

Breakpoints are no longer hit when using the latest chrome debugger in vscode. This could be due to using symlinked folders in projects (where this bug has been encountered)

To Reproduce

Use a project which relies on symlinks in the source (e.g. a monorepo with hoisted libraries)
Set a breakpoint in the source
Use the latest chrome debugger with a launch config
Launch and debug the project

Log File Attached:

vscode-chrome-debug.working.txt vscode-debugadapter-2.failing.json.gz

VS Code Version: 1.48.0

Additional context Chrome debugger: Version: 4.12.10 macOS: 10.14.5 Works correctly when setting debug.javascript.usePreview to false (no longer the default)

As this is a regression / change in behaviour, perhaps it should be documented?
