vscode: When launching a webapp debugging session on an non-mainstream browser, VSCode errors providing no useful info

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes, as I haven’t installed any.

  • VS Code Version: 1.72.0
  • OS Version: ArchLinux, up-to-date

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Install qutebrowser
  2. Use the following as the your launch.json when debugging a web app, and you’ll get an “Unable to attach to browser” error message. Unfortunately such an error gives no info (at least I couldn’t find it) to investigate the problem further, should it be on qutebrowser’s side
    {
        "version": "0.2.0",
        "configurations": [
            {
                "type": "chrome",
                "request": "launch",
                "runtimeExecutable": "/usr/bin/qutebrowser",
                "runtimeArgs": ["-T", "--qt-flag remote-debugging-port=9229"],
                "name": "Launch Chrome against localhost",
                "url": "http://localhost:1234",
                "webRoot": "${workspaceFolder}"
            }
        ]
    }

To be super clear: ignoreDefaultConnection doesn’t currently exist. What I’m suggesting is adding it (just an idea, may not be a good one). If we added it, you’ll add it to the same place where you have ignoreDefaultArgs right now.
