Visual Studio Code Chrome Debugger - Error on starting to debug

Question

When Starting the chrome debugger inside of visual studio code, it shows a popup with an error stating "Cannot find debug adapter for type 'chrome'."

I have already tried setting the remote-debugging-port to 9222 in the properties of Chrome as well as in the launch.json

Here is the launch.json that I'm currently trying to use:

{ "version": "0.2.0", "configurations": [ { "name": "Chrome Debug", "type": "chrome", "request": "launch", "url": "http://localhost/app", "runtimeArgs" : [ "--remote-debugging-port=9222" ], "webRoot": "${workspaceFolder}/path_to_js" } ] }

I had the same issue. I uninstalled and reinstalled the Debugger for Chrome extension and restarted VS Code. It started working.

Just restarting VSCode worked for me. My session had regressed to a state where several features weren't working (git lens wasn't showing commit details, the Source Control tab native to VSC wasn't sensing the local repo), so it's not a surprise that the chrome debugger extension was also malfunctioning. I suppose there's a reason why IT pros usually ask, "have you turned it off and back on again?"
