Vscode-js-debug: Chrome window crashes

[Skuriles]

Hello,

since today I have the following problem:
I start my Angular app with npm start script. Afterwards I start debugging in Chrome by pressing F5. New Chrome window appears and login screen of my app is shown.
But as soon as I login the Chrome windows crashes instantly (no error message, just closed and gone).
I tracked it down that it crashes the moment when Signalr connection is established.
Don't know if it was an update for VS Code or the extension.

Console Output:

The last entry "process not found" always differs in process name.
Any idea how to solve that. Code has not changed since the last time it worked. So I have no clue what has happend

Tried it with VS Insiders latest version, still the same problem. VS Code Version is 1.48.2

@Skuriles - I am also facing the same issue .. looking for some fix all day

I have this issue too. The Chrome Debugger extension for vscode states this:

Important note: By default, this extension now delegates to the new js-debug extension which is built-in to VS Code. Please file issues on that repo. To revert to the old behavior, you can set "debug.javascript.usePreview": false in your settings.

Once I turned off this feature, chrome no longer crashes when I log into my app

Here you will find the reasion

Seems to be a Chrome issue, not a VS Code/Extension issue. Chrome but tracker
"debug.javascript.usePreview": false for now should fix it temporary

Alternativley
Install canary and in VS Code you have to use

"runtimeExecutable": "C:/Users/<youruser>/AppData/Local/Google/Chrome SxS/Application/chrome.exe",

in your launch.json

As Skuriles found, this duplicates https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-js-debug/issues/729

You can also just set runtimeExecutable: "canary" and we'll automatically find the browser 🙂
