There are a bunch of issues with debugging. I think this happens since code-server runs on the browser, so it can't access it since the client accessing is the browser. Possibly right, but I don't know.

Any updates on this? It would be awesome to be able to debug JS web apps from codespaces.

Has anyone here been able to get this to work? I always get a message saying "We can't launch a browser in debug mode from here. Open this workspace in VS Code on your desktop to enable debugging."

same here

I suspect this might be possible if we

1. Manually launch Chrome in debug mode chrome.exe --remote-debugging-port=9222 --user-data-dir=remote-debug-profile
2. Manually port forward 9222 to the server running code-server and expose it as 9222
3. Run debugger with Attach to browser

 {
 "type": "chrome",
 "request": "attach",
 "name": "Attach to browser",
 "port": 9222
 },
