'Unable to hit breakpoint in VS Code with Angular 13

Below is my launch.js

{
    // Use IntelliSense to learn about possible attributes.
    // Hover to view descriptions of existing attributes.

    "version": "0.2.0",
    "configurations": [
        {
            "type": "pwa-chrome",
            "request": "launch",
            "name": "Launch Chrome against localhost",
            "url": "http://localhost:4200",
            "webRoot": "${workspaceFolder}"
        }
    ]
}

In launch.js, I have tried changing webRoot to "webRoot": "${workspaceFolder}/src", it didn't have an impact.

My App is up and running with ng serve, yet when I hit F5 to start the debug mode, none of the breakpoints are hit and they are all unbound/greyed out.

Below is my angular.js in case anyone needs it.

I had the same problem, updating from Angular 11 to 13, then i found some helping and did the following steps in my proyect:

1.- Edit the : angular.json file.

Add the following lines (sourceMap and optimization) into respective section or environments, by example :

"configurations": {
    .......
    .......
    .......
   "dev" : {
    "sourceMap": true,
    "optimization": false,
    ..... // More code
   },
   "devlocal" : {
    "sourceMap": true,
    "optimization": false,
    ..... // More code
   }


}

2.- Restart your angular application. 3.- Put your break points in your component. 4.- Debug your application with chrome or visual studio code.

And that's it !!!

It works forme. :)
Greets !!!
