"paused on debugger statement" instead of exception in the inspector

[Spown]

• VSCode Version: 1.10.1
• OS Version: W10x64
• Node: 6.9.3

Launch config regarding console:

"internalConsoleOptions": "neverOpen"
"console": "externalTerminal"

A simple case of trying to access property of undfined:

Error still passed to debug console:

Shouldn't debugger just show the exception in the inspector on the left in the first place? In my case it just shows the normal local scope, as if it were a breakpoint stop

If I unwrap the lines, it shows that the break happens (at least visibly) one the line prior the one containing the problem:

Regarding "debugger statement" - isn't it too vague?

If I step forward it gets thrown into the external console also, which is probably a correct behavior.

I don't know... some of it may be different issues, some are not even bugs (maybe I'm just used to node2 debugger). Also, it is probably related to #19750

thanx

@Spown what debugger are you using. node or node2?

[Spown]

it looks the same in both node with "protocol": "inspector" and node2

I see the problem, I thought that this was handled through the same path as an exception, but apparently not. Maybe it was in an earlier version of Node.
