I’m trying to setup debugger when I run a function locally. Currently I execute function this way:

```auto
serverless invoke local --function myFunctionName --env dev --path ./events/myFunctionName.json

```

I’d like to know how could I debug this running function. I’m using Windows 10 and NodeJS. Also I need suggestion in how to configure properly the debugger in VSCODE for lambdas.

For example, using sam is as simple as:

```auto
sam local invoke myFunctionName--event ./events/myFunctionName.json --debug-port 9229

```

thank you
