Facing the same issue and solved it by correcting the path to .ts files.
My project contains src and dist dirs and the problem was that the generated .map files didn't have the correct path to the src dir.

The fix - tsconfig.json:

{
    "compilerOptions": {
        "target": "es5",
        "module": "commonjs",
        "sourceMap": true,
        "outDir": "dist",
        "sourceRoot": "../src"
    }
}

Initially, my sourceRoot was pointing to src and there is no src dir inside dist.

Also, sourceMaps should be set to true inside launch.json.
