How to debug:

Open the JavaScript source files that you want to set breakpoints.

Double-click on the ruler at the left end of the line you want to set a breakpoint.

If you want to remove a breakpoint, double-click on the ruler again.

Select the main source file of Node Application on the Project Explorer, open the context menu by right-clicking, select the [Debug As]-[Node Application] menu.
