version 1.25.0 can not debug in WSL

[LeoYoung]

Issue Type: Bug

When I update VS code to version 1.25.0
I found that the breakpoint not hit when debugging (I'm using WSL)
I have set "useWSL": true in launch.json and it works well in version 1.24.1

VS Code version: Code 1.25.0 (0f080e5, 2018-07-05T13:11:58.697Z)
OS version: Windows_NT x64 10.0.17134

@LeoYoung what version of node.js are you using in WSL?
You can find out by running this in Windows:

wsl node --version

I have the same problem, I have version 8.9.4 in WSL.

The following config used to work before upgrading to 1.25.0 (i.e. 1.24.1):

{
    "version": "0.2.0",
    "configurations": [
        {
            "type": "node",
            "request": "launch",
            "name": "Mocha Current File",
            "program": "${workspaceFolder}/node_modules/mocha/bin/_mocha",
            "args": [
                "--timeout",
                "999999",
                "--colors",
                "${relativeFile}"
            ],
            "localRoot": "${workspaceRoot}",
            "remoteRoot": "/mnt/c/Users/<USERNAME>/Documents/smooch",
            "protocol": "inspector",
            "useWSL": true
        }
    ]
}

@weinand thank you for reply
my node version is 8.11.2 and npm version is 6.1.0

BTW
I also have a laptop which has a very same environment to my desktop
like same OS version, same WSL version, also same node version
but this device is still in 1.24.1 yet and works well
Is there any way to dump the information of debugging ?
Maybe it can help us to find the problem

Most likely this issue is a duplicate of #53785 for which there will be a fix in tomorrow's Insider build.

It would be great if you could verify that this fixes the WSL issue as well.

@weinand
I have tried the new Insider build (Version 1.26.0)
It seems that this bug has been fixed, THANKS👍

[weinand]

@LeoYoung great, thanks a lot for verifying this.

[fxlemire]

I confirm, also works on my end! 👍
