Unable to Debug Jest tests with Typescript

• VSCode Version: Code 1.13.1 (379d2ef, 2017-06-14T18:13:05.928Z)
• OS Version: Darwin x64 16.6.0
• Extensions:

Extension	Author	Version
EditorConfig	EditorConfig	0.9.3
npm-intellisense	christian-kohler	1.3.0
tslint	eg2	0.16.0
path-autocomplete	ionutvmi	1.5.1
graphql-for-vscode	kumar-harsh	1.4.2
debugger-for-chrome	msjsdiag	3.1.6
vim	vscodevim	0.9.0

---

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Clone the reproduction case here: https://github.com/blargity/vscode-ts-jest-debugger
2. Run yarn
3. Try to run the Tests configuration in VSCode

---

Note: this is not the only configuration we've tried. Even setting inline source maps doesn't seem to do anything:

$ node --version
v8.1.2
$ npm --version
5.0.3
$ yarn --version
0.27.5
$ tsc --version
Version 2.4.1

I'd really appreciate any help I can get debugging this and figuring out how we can run our tests using the debugger. Once you get used to using the VSCode debugger you want to use it for everything!

Here's the trace from running that debugger task.

Just wanted to verify that the issue is a bit different in 1.14.1. It now runs, then stops, but my breakpoints aren't hit, and I see no output from Jest anywhere, so it doesn't look to me like it's running successfully. Here's an updated trace: vscode-node-debug2.txt

This is a known issue with Node. Using a version <8 might help: #28007 (comment)

I downgraded to 7.10.1 and still see no output from my tests in the terminal. I should see Jest output somewhere regardless of the debugger's ability to attach, right?

[roblourens]

No, if the debugger can't attach, then it can't receive output from the program to display it in the console, but if you set"console": "integratedTerminal", then it will run jest in the integrated terminal and you'll see output there at least.
