How do I properly setup VS Code to debug in chrome, using an existing logged in Chrome user profile?
Add "userDataDir": false
to your launch config, like this:
{ // Use IntelliSense to learn about possible attributes. // Hover to view descriptions of existing attributes. // For more information, visit: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=830387 "version": "0.2.0", "configurations": [ { "type": "chrome", "request": "launch", "name": "Launch Chrome against localhost", "url": "http://localhost:3000", "webRoot": "${workspaceFolder}", "userDataDir": false } ]}
BUT you must first quit all running instances of Chrome, because it's not possible to put a running Chrome user profile into debug mode. This is why the extension creates a new user profile by default.
