and now I want to debug app with nodemon and my launch.json file configuration is like this

    "type": "node",
            "request": "launch",
            "name": "nodemon",
            "runtimeExecutable": "nodemon",
            "program": "${workspaceFolder}/node-api-boilerplate/index.js",
            "restart": true,
            "console": "integratedTerminal",
            "internalConsoleOptions": "neverOpen"
        }

your launch.json will simply run runtimeExecutable+program: nodemon ${workspaceFolder}/node-api-boilerplate/index.js, so cross-env wont be even called in — Bernardo Dal Corno

[Old question, but I've just encountered a similar case myself]

You can drop cross-env, and just use VS Code's env object. So your provided launch.json becomes:

{
  "type": "node",
  "request": "launch",
  "name": "nodemon",
  "runtimeExecutable": "nodemon",
  "program": "${workspaceFolder}/node-api-boilerplate/index.js",
  "restart": true,
  "console": "integratedTerminal",
  "internalConsoleOptions": "neverOpen",
  "env": { "NODE_PATH": "." }
}
