SkipFiles does not work in Chrome attach mode

See original GitHub issue

Describe the bug The same skipFiles configuration, which works in launch mode, does not work in attach mode.

To Reproduce

Create following configurations:

    {
      "name": "Chrome",
      "type": "pwa-chrome",
      "request": "launch",
      "url": "http://localhost:1234",
      "skipFiles": [
        "${workspaceRoot}/node_modules/**/*.js",
      ],
      "trace": true
    },
    {
      "type": "pwa-chrome",
      "request": "attach",
      "name": "Attach to Chrome",
      "port": 9222,
      "skipFiles": [
        "${workspaceRoot}/node_modules/**/*.js",
      ],
      "trace": true
    },

Run Attach to Chrome configuration.

Actual result: node_modules are not skipped

Expected result (as in launch Chrome configuration above)

Good to hear!

Because that was a less common and relatively minor issue (+ also involving a refactoring which carries some danger) I do not intend to ship that in a June recovery release. So this won’t go out to VS Code stable users until the July release, in early August. It will be on Insiders earlier, probably starting tomorrow.

@egorshulga does this happen in the nightly build? I’m wondering if you’re hitting the same issue that Mike hit in https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/102412#issuecomment-658301904
