Running babel-node in visual studio code

Normally to start up via command line, I can type:

babel-node server.js

When I try to set this up so that breakpoints and what not work in visual studio code I receive:

/Users/me/proj/node_modules/babel-cli/lib/babel-node.js --debug-brk=31893 --nolazy server.js 
/Users/me/proj/node_modules/babel-cli/lib/babel-node.js: line 1: /Applications: is a directory
/Users/me/proj/node_modules/babel-cli/lib/babel-node.js: line 3: /Applications: is a directory
/Users/me/proj/node_modules/babel-cli/lib/babel-node.js: line 4: Dockerfile: command not found
/Users/me/proj/node_modules/babel-cli/lib/babel-node.js: line 5: syntax error near unexpected token `('
/Users/me/proj/node_modules/babel-cli/lib/babel-node.js: line 5: ` * when found, before invoking the "real" _babel-node(1) executable.'

I surmise it has to do with the fact that the executable is being called from that directory, rather than from the same directory as the server.js file - but I really don't know.
