“Attribute 'program' does not exist” for basic node.js project

I had the same error, because I was passing the arguments inside "program" attribute like this:

{
    "version": "0.2.0",
    "configurations": [
        {
            "type": "node",
            "request": "launch",
            "name": "Build -B -p",
            "skipFiles": [
                "/**"
            ],
            "program": "${workspaceFolder}\\app\\build -B -p D:\\apps\\12"
        }
    ]
}

What solved for me was to pass the arguments inside "args" attribute, like this:

{
    "version": "0.2.0",
    "configurations": [
        {
            "type": "node",
            "request": "launch",
            "name": "Build -B -p",
            "skipFiles": [
                "/**"
            ],
            "program": "${workspaceFolder}\\app\\build",
            "args":["-B", "-pD:\\apps\\12"]
        }
    ]
}

The O.S. was Windows 7.
