debugging next.js with vscode debugger

I have installed a project using create-next-app. I need to debug the server side rendering using my editor: vscode. So i have visited vscode-recipes - how to debug next.js app.

I have made a slight change to the recipe so I won't have to install Next globally.

that's my launch.json config file:

    {
      "type": "node",
      "request": "launch",
      "name": "Next: Node",
      "runtimeExecutable": "${workspaceFolder}/node_modules/next/dist/bin/next",
      "runtimeArgs": ["-inspect"],
      "port": 9229,
      "console": "integratedTerminal"
    }

While i'm running it I get the following error:

Error: Use env variable NODE_OPTIONS instead: NODE_OPTIONS="--inspect" next dev

I'm trying to change runtimeArgs to following command that should work: "runtimeArgs": ["NODE_OPTIONS=--inspect"] and I am getting other error:

No such directory exists as the project root: /Users/username/with-redux-thunk-app/NODE_OPTIONS=--inspect

How I can I correctly express "NODE_OPTIONS=--inspect" so it works with vscode debugger?
