visual studio code - vscode debugging typescript leads to JS files

Question

I'm trying to debug a service I wrote in typescript with vscode. Up until now, I did not have any issues debugging, when I ran the debugger, it would debug via the typescript files.

But now when I run the service and debug, it takes me to the javascript compiled files, which makes debugging practically impossible.

This is the debugging configuration I use:

{
   "type": "node",
   "request": "launch",
   "name": "Launch Program",
   "program": "${workspaceFolder}/main.ts",
   "preLaunchTask": "tsc: build - tsconfig.json",
   "outFiles": ["${workspaceFolder}/dist/**/*.js"],
   "cwd": "${workspaceRoot}",
   "protocol": "inspector",
   "internalConsoleOptions": "openOnSessionStart"
}

I also tried running without preLaunchTask & outFiles but the result is the same.

Please advise on how can I properly debug the code.
