Can't debug async http calls in typescript files on Ubuntu 18.04

Hi, I don’t know if I raise this issue at the correct repo… Please, let me know if I’m at the wrong place.

Describe the bug Since the last vscode update (1.47), debugger breakpoints (in .ts files) are only hit when I start my web-server, but are not when handling http calls with express.

To Reproduce

1. start my web server with F5 in vscode.
2. Put a breakpoint in index.ts and observe the breakpoint being hit.
3. In api.ts add a console.log(“Hey what’s up I’m a console log please notify I exist”)
4. In the same file, put a breakpoint on the new console.log you’ve just added.
5. Observe the console log occuring, but the breakpoint never being hit (instead being greyed out…)
6. In api.js (the compiled js file of api.ts), put a breakpoint on the exact same line and observe the breakpoint being hit.

The api.ts looks something like this:

router.post('/export', async (req, res) => {
    console.log("Hey what's up I'm a console log please notify I exist")
    res.sendStatus(200)
  })

router is an instance of Router which wa simported from express I believe.

Log File

I added "trace": true to my launch.json but nothing seems to appear in the debug console… Please let me know if I can provide any other info.

VS Code Version: 1.47

Additional context I’m using Ubuntu 18.04
