Using gulp instead of nodejs in IntelliJ ignores breakpoints

I have inherited a project running gulp+nodejs. I am trying to use IntelliJ in Windows as my IDE.

If I set my runtime configuration to use "node.js" as its type, I have no problem hitting breakpoints and debugging. However, if I use "gulp.js" as the run type, breakpoints are ignored (and I can essentially never debug). I also tried using Node.js configuration and setting the JS file to node_modules/gulp/bin/gulp.js instead of server/run.js . This seems to have the exact same problem.

Any thoughts on how I could fix this?
