Remote debugging Chrome extension from Visual Studio Code
Raw
README.md

On Mac, launch browser using a dedicated profile. This will create directory remote-profile in cwd.

% /Applications/GoogleChrome.app/Contents/MacOS/GoogleChrome --remote-debugging-port=9222 --user-data-dir=remote-profile

DevTools listening on ws://127.0.0.1:9222/devtools/browser/1f9619a3-abe2-449b-a81e-dde827123e20

Make sure that webroot points to the webpack-built distribution of your extension that's loaded by the browser.

    {
        "name": "Attach to Chrome",
        "port": 9222,
        "request": "attach",
        "type": "chrome",
        "webRoot": "${workspaceFolder}/dist/chrome"
    }

Multi-client debugging support is available for things like puppeteer. A chromium bug previously prevented this functionality.
