### Expected behavior

Hitting a breakpoint when a debugger is attached. Just like it works in a webpack configuration.

In app created with vite template (w/wo typescript) the debugger does not stop at breakpoints. Tested in vscode and webstorm.
Of course, debugger configuration according to https://www.electronforge.io/advanced/debugging.
