I am running a Node app with an npm configuration in WebStorm but I cannot debug, I keep getting the error below.

I have a clean system with node 16.5.0 installed along with npm

The app runs or when you just run it.

"c:\Program Files\nodejs\npm.cmd" run start
Debugger listening on ws://127.0.0.1:63505/499bdffd-e2d2-40af-9e44-0fc1b93a7404
For help, see: https://nodejs.org/en/docs/inspector

Waiting for the debugger to disconnect...

Must be WEB-55884 that is fixed in 2022.1.2. Workaround: open Settings | Languages & Frameworks | Node.js and set Package manager to npm package folder, e.g. C:\Program Files\nodejs\node_modules\npm.
