How to launch Chrome when using Visual Studio Code on a Chromebook? - visual-studio-code

Using VSCode on a Chromebook, the launch.json configuration of "type": "chrome" is unable to find the Chrome installation and says:
Unable to launch browser: "Unable to find an installation of the browser on
your system. Try installing it, or providing an absolute path to the browser
in the "runtimeExecutable” in your launch.json."
How can I launch and debug my web-based apps on a Chromebook?

I couldnt find what executes the chrome, whether flutter or android studio, in any case i havent found way to edit chrome exec command in flutter or android studio.

'Debugger for Firefox' VSCode Extension shows error 'cannot find profile development'

When launching firefox through a VSCode debug configuration, an error message appears: cannot find profile development and firefox doesn't launch. This is in a WSL remote window with Ubuntu 22.04. Firefox Developer Edition is installed on the host. It doesn't have a profile called 'development'.
Open about:profiles in Firefox (type that into the address bar and go to that page) and create a new profile called development.

Cannot start Chrome in dev mode from within Eclipse

When trying to start a Chrome browser in dev mode from Eclipse (launcher type "Launch Chrome), I get the following error message in a window:
"Error Launching Application"
"Could not launch browser - process terminated while trying to connect. Try closing any running Chrome instances.."
That's all. There is nothing in the Eclipse error log or consoles and the suggestion has no effect.
Does anybody know of a way I can get a more detailed error message, if not a solution, can I kick this off from a console, for instance? Thank you.
first set your default browser in eclipse as chrome -
path for that is as follows - in eclipse go to
Windows --> browser --> chrome
Then on your application, right click
Run as --> run on server (chose any server of your choice )
This should directly open in chrome .
Also please make sure in your chrome you have this plugin added - GWT dev mode.
It is called as - Super Dev Mode, and it is supported in chrome.

Is there a device file explorer in VSCode?

I'm using VSCode as my IDE. Is there a "Device File Explorer" in VSCode just like in Android Studio?
There is none. The tools available at your disposal currently are the devtools which run in a browser and embedded in VScode for the latest version 1.20
Android Studio/IntelliJ are dedicated IDEs to develop Android applications and hence have low level functionality to interact with the file system of Android Virtual device.
I can't find an easy solution even in 2021.
At the end I do the following
adb shell
su
cd <where ever I wish>
At least I can check the files that I have created
to download
adb pull <source> <destination>
