Hi, I try to run debugger for es modules using --inspect-brk flag, but after I attached Chrome Dev Tools I receive this error

internal/loader/ModuleJob.js:31
        initWrapper(this.module.instantiate, this.module);
        ^
Error: linking error, not in local cache
    at link (internal/loader/ModuleJob.js:31:9)
    at <anonymous>

I create two small files to test debuuger:

• index.mjs

import {add} from './calc';

console.log(add(5, 6));

• calc.mjs

export function add (a, b) {
    return a + b;
}

I try to run code with this command node --experimental-modules --inspect-brk index.mjs.

I updated my Chrome to version 64.0.3282.186.
I try this with the same result on Chrome Canary 66.0.3352.0.

I do not have any breakpoints set up but after I attached Dev Tools, code is always break on internal/async_hooks.js:157 and after I resume script execution I receive above error.

it appears the breakpoint was mounted in the wrong place, i'll dig around

This breaks debugging with WebStorm.
