Debug Test in Dotnet xUnit does not break at Breakpoint

I am using dotnet core, VS Code and xUnit for tests.

I can run the test, but when I try to debug the test, it does not break at the breakpoint?

enter image description here

What do I need to do, to get it to break at the breakpoint?

Ok, found the problem. I am using cross platform .NET Core debugger, which does not support Windows PDB.

This is easily fixed by changing project.json to include "debugType":"portable"

"buildOptions": {
  "emitEntryPoint": true,
  "preserveCompilationContext": true,
  "debugType": "portable"
},
