I'm trying to debug vuejs with vscode, I've tried a lot of tutorials/answers and could not make it work.
So I decided to ask a question here, maybe nowadays there's a right way to make it work.
I've created a project that it's identical with the one I want to debug, so I can post prints here.
The project structure is:

Here is the unbound breakpoint:



/**
 * @type {import('@vue/cli-service').ProjectOptions}
 */
module.exports = {
  configureWebpack: {
    devtool: "source-map"
  },
  transpileDependencies: true
}
{
    "version": "0.2.0",
    "configurations": [
        {
            "type": "chrome",
            "request": "launch",
            "name": "vuejs: chrome",
            "url": "http://localhost:8080",
            "webRoot": "${workspaceFolder}",
            "sourceMapPathOverrides": {
              "**/src/*": "${webRoot}/src/*",
            },
            "preLaunchTask": "vuejs: start"
          }
    ]
}
{
    "version": "2.0.0",
    "tasks": [
      {
        "label": "vuejs: start",
        "type": "npm",
        "script": "serve",
        "isBackground": true,
        "problemMatcher": [{
            "base": "$tsc-watch",
            "background": {
                "activeOnStart": true,
                "beginsPattern": "Starting development server",
                "endsPattern": "Compiled successfully"
            }
        }],
        "group": {
            "kind": "build",
            "isDefault": true
        }
    }
    ]
}
{
  "name": "test",
  "version": "0.1.0",
  "private": true,
  "scripts": {
    "serve": "vue-cli-service serve",

  },

    "vue": "^2.6.14"
  },

    "@babel/core": "^7.12.16",
    "@babel/eslint-parser": "^7.12.16",
    "@vue/cli-plugin-babel": "~5.0.0",

    "@vue/cli-service": "~5.0.0",
    "eslint": "^7.32.0",
    "eslint-plugin-vue": "^8.0.3",
    "vue-template-compiler": "^2.6.14"
  },
  "eslintConfig": {
    "root": true,
    "env": {
      "node": true
    },
    "extends": [
      "plugin:vue/essential",
      "eslint:recommended"
    ],
    "parserOptions": {
      "parser": "@babel/eslint-parser"
    },
    "rules": {}
  },
  "browserslist": [
    "> 1%",
    "last 2 versions",
    "not dead"
  ]
}
UPDATE
@A.D asked if I've tried to use keyword
debugger;
Here is the results: Ps: I don't want to start writing debugger in my code...

But with that i could see that the debugger file is pointing to:
C:\Users\vinic\Desktop\test\test\js\webpack:\test\src\components\HelloWorld.vue
But the component src is actualy located in
C:\Users\vinic\Desktop\test\test\src\components\HelloWorld.vue
Why my breakpoints are not bounding?
Appearently there are some problems with the webpack of vue versions above 2.6.11

After some discussions with @Tonielton Mota i noticed that, if I fully remove the property name from package.json and package-lock.json it works.
Here are the files that are working:
