Research direction

Start by reviewing the Eclipse Run Configurations and Debug As entries for the Node.js application, including the npm run start command, and compare them with the similar issues the author found. Done would mean a documented or available way to debug this npm-managed application in Wild Web Developer.

First, I need to say that I asked this question on stackoverflow and then, in the related mailing list.
I'm new to nodeJs

and installed eclipse for enterprise java and web developers 2021-09 that includes wild web developers as an extention, and hav a Nodejs app that can be run by npm run start command and in eclipse can be run by run as> run configurations> launch configuration.
My problem is that I can't find launch npm in debug as section.
As nodejs modules are from vscode, I read that there are several ways for debugging nodejs in vscode.
Can you guide me how to debug this app with wild web developer?
Note: I searched the repo before asking this and found similar issues but asked again because there solutions does not fit my case ( I think)
