Debugging Chrome in VS Code

Note: This does not use the "Chrome remote debugger protocol". This uses the 'chrome.debugger' API. Here is the documentation that explains the difference. developer.chrome.com/docs/ext...
Thanks @Tarek Faham for point that out in the comments 👇

When they said "you can get all this started with an npm script", that's when I bailed.

This is not chrome remote debugging.

How so?

@@_heyMP remote debugging you have to attach vscode to a running instance of chrome with remote debugging enabled. What you explained is launching chrome from vscode not attaching.

​@@TarekFaham Interesting. "The chrome.debugger API serves as an alternate transport for Chrome's remote debugging protocol." Good to know. VSCode still attaches to a Chrome process but it does it via a new API. Good to know!

@@_heyMP I provided my feedback after landing on your video several times while researching how to debug javascript web application running on a remote sever not locally. This is the difference.

@@TarekFaham Fair point. I'll update the title to make it less ambiguous. 👍
