How to debug command line input in WebStorm

Question

I have this simple program:

process.stdin.once("data", function (data) {
    console.log("You said your name is " + data);
    process.stdin.pause();
});
console.log("What is your name?");
process.stdin.resume();

Now I put a breakpoint inside a callback:

And run the program, the console tab is open:

But whatever I type into the terminal in this console tab doesn't trigger a breakpoint. It seems that this console tab is not a terminal used to accept input from a user.

While debugging, make sure that "Use Console Input" toggle button on console's toolbar is NOT pressed - when it's pressed, console is in 'live' mode, all entered expressions are evaluated, so stdin is disabled.
