node - esbuild bundler are not attaching debugger - sourcemap not generated

[gaurang171]

Current Behavior

When I build the node application with esbuild, break pints on typescripts are not working but instead in need to go to main.cjs under dist to break.

I created a the workspace with express preset. webpack builds are attaching break points correctly but that doesn't allow me to import esmodules so I tried esbuiids with node application. es modules works but now can not attach break points on TS file.

Expected Behavior

For ES Builds TS break points should work.

npx nx serve myAppES add break points on typescript file. it won't work

It appears esbuilds are missign sourcemap even is the flag is set to true. in main.cjs I am not seeing any references to soucemap.

[gaurang171]

adding sourcemap: "both" to esbuildOptions under options in project.json file creates the sourcemap and now able to use breakpoints in Ts file.
still assets are not copied to the dist folder when in the watch mode similar to #12901

"options": {
        "esbuildOptions": { "sourcemap":"both" },
........
.........
}

@jaysoo given the changes in the PR that closed this, I assume that the "sourcemap" option for the executor is going to become deprecated and that we're to migrate to "esbuildOptions" for it?

(So that I can go ahead and safely delete the "sourcemap" setting from the target in my project.json)
