Tweaking the answer from Mukesh Rawat plus ensuring additional file paths were correct, got it working for me, :

Launch.json

{
    "name": "DebugMode",
    "type": "node",
    "request": "launch",
    "program": "${workspaceRoot}/node_modules/cucumber/bin/cucumber-js",
    "args": [
        "${workspaceRoot}/features/*.feature",
        "--tags", "@debug"
    ]
}

Workspace.json

{
    "cucumberautocomplete.steps": [
        "features/steps/*.js"
    ],
    "cucumberautocomplete.syncfeatures": "features/*.feature",
    "cucumberautocomplete.strictGherkinCompletion": true,
    "settings": {},
    "folders": [
        {
            "path": "/Users/{me}/Documents/{project folder}/{project name}"
        }
    ]
}

Package.json

"scripts": {
    "debug": "node --inspect=1337 --debug-brk --nolazy node_modules/cucumber/bin/cucumber-js --tags @debug --format json:./reports/report.json",

CucumberTest.feature

@debug
