Breakpoints are not hit when debugging Node JS app in VS Code

Question

I don't know if I am missing something but I can't manage to debug this very simple Node JS program with VS Code (I'm on a Ubuntu env) :

When I start debugging, my breakpoint is "set but not yet bound". The strange thing is that the execution will stop on exceptions if I ask it to, but it will NEVER stop on my breakpoints.

My launch.json file is as follows :

I found a workaround. There is a bug on breakpoints in VS Code and to get it work :

Write an exception on your code at the beginning
Debug your app. It should stop on the exception
While it is stopped on the exception, set your breakpoints
Remove the exception code
The next time you debug, breakpoints should be hit !
