Cannot get custom Data Extractor working

I'm trying to get a custom Data Extractor working. When following the example, the code runs to register the Data Extractor but the actual extractor code never runs.

Looks like a bug.

However, I heavily recommend you to use this approach:
https://github.com/hediet/vscode-debug-visualizer/blob/master/extension/README.md#debugvisualizerjscustomscriptpaths

1. you can change the visualization without having to restart the debugger
2. the visualization code is separate from your production code
3. it works ;)
