From my experience (about 15 mins ago), if 'webpack.config.js' has a value for the context property, then that has to be accounted for for '.vscode/launch.json'.

module.exports = {
  context: path.resolve(__dirname, 'src'),

Then launch.json needs that context ('src') too:

"url": "http://localhost:8080/",
"webRoot": "${workspaceRoot}/src",
"sourceMaps": true,

I just updated/fixed my repo so now TypeScript breakpoints should bind.
