How to debug command line input in WebStorm

Question

I have this simple program:

process.stdin.once("data", function (data) { console.log("You said your name is " + data); process.stdin.pause(); }); console.log("What is your name?"); process.stdin.resume(); 

Now I set a breakpoint inside the callback:

And run the program, the console tab will open:

But everything that I enter into the terminal on this console tab does not cause a breakpoint. This console tab does not seem to be the terminal used to receive input from the user.

During debugging, make sure that the "Use console input" button on the console panel is not pressed - when it is pressed, the console is in "live" mode, all entered expressions are evaluated, therefore stdin is disabled.
