Breakpoints not triggered in VS Code R Debugger when using box #372

Error description

When using the box package to modularize code, breakpoints in VS Code's R Debugger do not seem to be triggered. This issue does not occur when using source() to load files. Since box isolates environments, it might be causing the debugger to lose track of the code context.

The function hello_world defined in func1.R runs correctly, but breakpoints set inside this function are not triggered when called

code to reproduce :
main.R

box::use(
  . / func1[hello_world]
)


hello_world()

func1.R

#' @export
hello_world <- function(){
  x = c(1,2,3)  # Breakpoint added here
  print("In here")
  return("Hello World")
}
R Debugger Version - v0.5.5

Don't know if this is the right place to open this issue
