Angular cli debuging with vs code source map not working

Question

Hi i have built an app using angular-cli and I am trying to debug it using vs code and Debugger for chrome extension. After a while I was able to make it work, well kind of. What happens is that i can set a break-point in my typescript class but it gets placed on a wrong line number like source map is incorrect.

Debug process - open terminal ng serve than go to debug tab and click F5 in vscode

I have the following: I use LaunchChrome configuration

launch.json

{
    "version": "0.2.0",
    "configurations": [
        {
            "name": "LaunchChrome",
            "type": "chrome",
            "request": "launch",
            "url": "http://localhost:4200",
            "sourceMaps": true,
            "webRoot": "${workspaceRoot}",
            "diagnosticLogging": true,
            "userDataDir": "${workspaceRoot}/.vscode/chrome",
             "sourceMapPathOverrides": {
            "webpack:///C:*": "c:/*"
        }
        },
        {

Answer 1

I have updated to angular-cli-beta19-3 and typescript 2.0.6 and cleared cache in chrome now it works.

UPDATE: using angular 2.4.1 now

Whats funny is that it doesnt work with

"sourceMapPathOverrides": {
    "webpack:///*": "${webRoot}/*"
}

defined here https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode-chrome-debug

but it works with

"sourceMapPathOverrides": {
    "webpack:///C:*": "c:/*"
}

and for linux as @carpinchosaurio said

"webpack:///*": "/*"

UPDATE 2/21/2017:

With new versions of angular and typescript there is no need for source map path overrides anymore.

"@angular/compiler-cli": "2.4.8",
"@angular/cli": "1.0.0-beta.32.3",
"typescript": "2.1.6"
angular version 2.4.8

Working setup:

{
  "version": "0.2.0",
  "configurations": [
    {
      "name": "LaunchChrome",
      "type": "chrome",
      "request": "launch",
      "url": "http://localhost:4200",
      "sourceMaps": true,
      "webRoot": "${workspaceRoot}",
      "userDataDir": "${workspaceRoot}/.vscode/chrome"
    }
  ]
}

for anyone still interested this worked for me -

 {
        "name": "Launch localhost with sourcemaps",
        "type": "chrome",
        "request": "launch",
        "url": "http://localhost:4200",
        "sourceMaps": true,
        "webRoot": "${workspaceRoot}/src",          
        "userDataDir": "${workspaceRoot}/.vscode/chrome",
        "sourceMapPathOverrides": {              
             "webpack:///./~/*": "${workspaceRoot}/node_modules/*",
             "webpack:///./src/*": "${workspaceRoot}/src/*"
        }
        // Uncomment this to get diagnostic logs in the console
        // "diagnosticLogging": true
    }
