Master the break-points

There are 2 ways to declare a break point.

The keyword debugger

The break-point in DevTools GUI (ctrl+b or right / left click on the line number in source code side bar).

This one needs some attention. To set up a break point from within GUI the desired JavaScript needs to be loaded into memory first, so that it is available for selection. :warning: Heads up : After that there are 2 Versions available via ctrl+p The first one (mapped via autoAddWorkSpace) is ready to edit and save from within DevTools.

The second one (loaded into memory) is awaiting custom [conditional] breakpoints and is always surrounded by the Node.js module scope (function (exports, require, module, __filename, __dirname) {});.

If you are not planing to use the editing features of DevTools...

There is a way to disable the mapping via Local and global configuration
