How to use intellij idea debugger with webdriverIO?

Question

I have an issue on wdio test runner. I have set it up in IntelliJ Idea as described here: How to get wdio running through IntelliJ run/debug configurations? But, when I try to debug, nothing happens. The test is not stopping on a breakpoint, it just continues on running. Please help me to set up the debugger.

This config works for me. Breakpoints work

Thank you for the answer, I have same configs, I would like to ask you what language do you use, I have this problem with TypeScript – Alex Oct 04 '19 at 11:02

For me it’s not working with TypeScript, may be you know what it could be? – Alex Oct 08 '19 at 09:33

I have debugging works (with Angular, I thought it would be the same with Node) in Intellij with the following steps:

Run npm run start to start your server with debug.
Run your test config with debug too.
Now you can set breakpoints
