ReferenceError: describe is not defined (Debugging Protractor Test) - debugging

Question

I'm new on Protractor. So far, I have a few tests up and running on production, but I'm having a hard time chasing errors with the console logs. I have my VS Code setup for debugging and I'm getting this:
Exception has occurred: Error
ReferenceError: describe is not defined
at Object.<anonymous> (f:\My Docs\...\my-spec.js:21:1)
at Module._compile (module.js:570:32)
at Object.Module._extensions..js (module.js:579:10)
at Module.load (module.js:487:32)
at tryModuleLoad (module.js:446:12)
at Function.Module._load (module.js:438:3)

at ontimeout (timers.js:380:14)
at tryOnTimeout (timers.js:244:5)
at Timer.listOnTimeout (timers.js:214:5)
This is what I have installed:
node --version
v6.10.2
#angular/cli: 1.3.2
protractor --version
Version 5.1.2
jasmine v2.8.0
jasmine-core v2.8.0
mocha --version
4.0.1
Here is my conf.js file:
// conf.js
exports.config = {
framework: 'jasmine',
seleniumAddress: 'http://localhost:4444/wd/hub',
specs: ['my-spec.js'],
capabilities: {
'browserName': 'chrome'
},
onPrepare: function () {
global.EC = protractor.ExpectedConditions;
global.defaultWait = 5000;
global.defaultSleep = 50;
global.takeScreenShots = false;
},
allScriptsTimeout: 90000, // 90 seconds
jasmineNodeOpts: {
defaultTimeoutInterval: 180000 // 3 min
}
}
That's supposed to be a jasmine function. It would make more sense if I get the same error while running the Test, but it's only while debugging. Since it's the beggining of my test, I'm completly stucked. Can anybody give me at least a better clue of where this issue is? Do I need something else installed for debugging? Thanks in advance!

SOLVED!
The issue was in my launch file. As I said above I had this in my launch.json:
"program": "${workspaceRoot}/my-spec.js"
based on protractor website they set that to:
"program": "${workspaceRoot}/node_modules/protractor/bin/protractor",
I thought I needed to point to my test file, wrong!
So I set it to:
"program": "C:/Users/gabio/AppData/Roaming/npm/node_modules/protractor/bin/protractor",
(where my protractor lives)
Now I can debug as normally!
