webpack vs code sourcemaps in serverless

I am starting to create a project in serverless, this project uses the serverless webpack plugin. As it stands we hooked babel through webpack, and now we want to debug it preferrably in vs code.

our file structure stands: dist:

 |- babelExample.js |- babelExample.js.map |- converse.js |- converse.js.map 

we set the webpack.config.js

var path = require('path'); const webpack = require('webpack'); module.exports = { devtool: "source-map", debug: true, entry: { babelExample: 'example/babelExample.js', converse: 'converse/converse.js' }, target: 'node', plugin: [ new webpack.DefinePlugin({ '__DEV__': true }), new webpack.HotModuleReplacementPlugin(), ], module: { loaders: [ { test: /\.js$/, loaders: ['babel'], include: __dirname, exclude: /node_modules/ }, { test: /\.json$/, loader: 'json-loader' } ] }, output: { devtoolModuleFilenameTemplate: info => { return `${info.resourcePath}?${info.loaders}` }, libraryTarget: 'commonjs', path: path.join(__dirname, 'dist'), filename: '[name].js' }, resolve: { root: [ path.resolve(__dirname), path.resolve(__dirname, 'server'), ], extensions: ['', '.js', '.jsx'] } }; 

our launch.json

{ "type": "node", "request": "launch", "name": "Serve webcast", "program": "/Users/edevh46/.nvm/versions/node/v4.3.2/lib/node_modules/serverless/bin/serverless", "cwd": "${workspaceRoot}", "args": [ "webpack", "serve" ], "preLaunchTask": "build", "runtimeArgs": [ "--nolazy" ], "outFiles": [ "${cwd}/dist/**/*.js" ], "sourceMaps": true, "smartStep": true }, 

When we start serverless webpack, it looks rightly so at the dist folder js generated files, however for breakpoints to work we have to breakpoint the generated file, which then causes the correct source to be displayed.

It seems to me that the paths, are not being correctly satisfied inside vs code, to the specific file.

looking at the maps file:

{"version":3,"sources":["webpack/bootstrap cfe5ab77d9ed3f728d29?undefined","./server/example/babelExample.js?undefined","./~/babel-runtime/core-js/promise.js?undefined","./~/core-js/library/fn/promise.js?undefined","./~/core-js/library/modules/es6.string.iterator.js?undefined","./~/core-js/library/modules/_string-at.js?undefined","./~/core-js/library/modules/_to-integer.js?undefined","./~/core-js/library/modules/_defined.js?undefined","./~/core-js/library/modules/_iter-define.js?undefined","./~/core-js/library/modules/_library.js?undefined","./~/core-js/library/modules/_export.js?undefined","./~/core-js/library/modules/_global.js?undefined","./~/core-js/library/modules/_core.js?undefined","./~/core-js/library/modules/_ctx.js?undefined","./~/core-js/library/modules/_a-function.js?undefined","./~/core-js/library/modules/_hide.js?undefined","./~/core-js/library/modules/_object-dp.js?undefined","./~/core-js/library/modules/_an-object.js?undefined","./~/core-js/library/modules/_is-object.js?

and further down:

"file":"babelExample.js","sourcesContent":[" \t// The module cache\n \tvar installedModules = {};\n\n \t// The require function\n \tfunction webpack_require(moduleId) {\n\n \t\t// Check if module is in cache\n \t\tif(installedModules[moduleId])\n \t\t\treturn installedModules[moduleId].exports;\n\n \t\t// Create a new module (and put it into the cache)\n \t\tvar module = installedModules[moduleId] = {\n \t\t\texports: {},\n \t\t\tid: moduleId,\n \t\t\tloaded: false\n \t\t};\n\n \t\t// Execute the module function\n \t\tmodules[moduleId].call(module.exports, module, module.exports, webpack_require);\n\n \t\t// Flag the module as loaded\n \t\tmodule.loaded = true;\n\n \t\t// Return the exports of the module\n \t\treturn module.exports;\n \t}\n\n\n \t// expose the modules object (webpack_modules)\n \t__webpack_require__.m = modules;\n\n \t// expose the module cache\n \t__webpack_require__.c = installedModules;\n\n \t// webpack_public_path\n \t__webpack_require__.p = \"\";\n\n \t// Load entry module and return exports\n \treturn webpack_require(0);\n\n\n\n// WEBPACK FOOTER //\n// webpack/bootstrap cfe5ab77d9ed3f728d29","'use strict';\nconst createResponse = require('../lib/createResponse');\n\n\nexport const hello = (event, context, cb) => {\n console.log('SERVER this');\n const p = new Promise((resolve, reject) => {\n

I am only new at matching sourcemaps, but i would appreciate if anyone could help understand why i have to breakpoint the generated file and not the original one.

I have tried node2 --inspect but in there breakpointing was completely broken, which leads me to believe that there is something missing to help resolve the path, back to original file.

Any help would be appreciated.
