Mocha breakpoints using Visual Studio Code

Did you know, that you just go into your launch config, put your cursor after or between your other configs and press ctrlspace to get a current, valid mocha config auto-generated?

Which works perfectly fine for me. Including stopping at breakpoints.
( I also had a prior, now outdated one, that did no longer for various setting-related reasons. )

enter image description here

As of VSCode 1.21.1 (March 2018) this yields:

{
  "version": "0.2.0",
  "configurations": [
    {
      "name": "Mocha (Test single file)",
      "type": "node",
      "request": "launch",
      "runtimeArgs": [
        "${workspaceRoot}/node_modules/.bin/mocha",
        "--inspect-brk",
        "${relativeFile}",
      ],
      "console": "integratedTerminal",
      "internalConsoleOptions": "neverOpen",
      "port": 9229
    }
}

On a side-note: debug-brk is deprectated (for anyone with Node >= Version 8 at least).
