Thanks for reporting this issue! Unfortunately, it's hard for us to understand what issue you're seeing. Please help us out by providing a screen recording showing exactly what isn't working as expected. While we can work with most standard formats, .gif files are preferred as they are displayed inline on GitHub. You may find https://gifcap.dev helpful as a browser-based gif recording tool.

If the issue depends on keyboard input, you can help us by enabling screencast mode for the recording (Developer: Toggle Screencast Mode in the command palette). Lastly, please attach this file via the GitHub web interface as emailed responses will strip files out from the issue.

Happy coding!

Hey everyone, thanx for helping out, I'm new to this. I managed to install Firefox as a linux app and now I can launch browser, although url path is static, so it always opens launches browser with rhe same file

[connor4312]

Please let us know if you can give a gif of the issue with the Chrome browser so we can look into it. Thanks!

[palmtrees-dreamland]

not sure I can replicate the issue now, although here is where I got the solution from if it helps https://stackoverflow.com/questions/72567123/cant-run-debugging-in-visual-studio-code-on-chrome-os

The error referenced in the issue sounds like it was this one:

Unable to find an installation of the browser on your system. Try installing it, or providing an absolute path to the browser in the "runtimeExecutable" in your launch.json.

Which I think is descriptive of the case where you try to launch Chrome without it being installed on your system

[palmtrees-dreamland]

It is indeed, that was the error message I got, although the Chrome browser is already installed in my Chromebook. Was also reading about downloading a second chrome browser and use it for VSC. For now, Firefox seems to do the job, I just need to get the right url

[connor4312]

I don't own a Chromebook -- are you able to find the path to the chrome executable on your system? We probably need to add that to our detection in the debugger. Opening chrome://version will have the "command line" which should include its location.

Much appreciated, should be fixed in our next release
