aws-sam-cli: NODE_PATH is not set in the Container when in debug mode

Description

I was using sam 0.13 and I could debug my function using VS Code with no problems, after upgrading my lambdas do nodejs10.x (coming from 8.10) I had to update my sam version due compatbility, and now I no longer can debug my code, either in Ubuntu or macOS environment. I’m getting following error:

{
  "errorType": "Runtime.ImportModuleError",
  "errorMessage": "Error: Cannot find module 'aws-sdk'"
}

Does this package shouldn’t be inside container?

Additional point:

• It runs normally without debbuging mode (without -d 5858).
• Steps provided used to work using SAM 0.13 with node8.10 Runtime.

EDIT: I’ve just tried using SAM 0.17.0 with node8.10 Runtime and it worked. But ,using node10.x it doesn’t.
