Cannot connect to runtime process, timeout after 10000 ms

Actually is working perfectly but only after the second time I launch the debugger, the first time I get this error:

The newcomers may think the extension is not working.

Maybe is because of Debugger for Chrome extension I don't know, I would be happy just know if there is somewhere I can increase that delay.

My launch.json:

{
  "version": "0.2.0",
  "configurations": [
    {
      "type": "browser-preview",
      "request": "launch",
      "name": "Browser Preview: Launch",
      "url": "http://localhost:5000/",
      "webRoot": "${workspaceFolder}/public"
    }
  ]
}

@cosminalco Would you happen to have other Chrome instances running in your machine?

[cosminalco]

No, but maybe is because I'm using the portable version of VSCode from on a partition, Windows is on C: VSCode is in D:/Apps/VSCode

Same issue here. Everything worked great till last week. But today I started getting this error. Can't make it work even after a second run.
I can confirm that there are no other Chrome instances running at the same time. I can also confirm that launching with Debugger for Chrome and the same configuration works just fine.

{
  "version": "0.2.0",
  "configurations": [
  // This do work
  {
    "name": "ng serve",
    "type": "chrome",
    "request": "launch",
    "preLaunchTask": "npm: start",
    "url": "http://localhost:4200/#",
    "webRoot": "${workspaceFolder}"
  },
  // This doesn't
  {
    "name": "Browser Preview: Launch",
    "type": "browser-preview",
    "request": "launch",
    "preLaunchTask": "npm: start",
    "url": "http://localhost:4200",
    "webRoot": "${workspaceFolder}"
  }]
}

Same happens to me, but it gives me another error:

This is my launch.json file:

{
  "version": "0.2.0",
  "configurations": [
    {
      "type": "browser-preview",
      "request": "launch",
      "name": "Browser Preview: Launch",
      "url": "http://localhost:8100",
      "webRoot": "${workspaceFolder}"
    }
  ]
}

BTW I use this for debugging an Ionic4 App and I'm running High Sierra.

@auchenberg when this fix will be available at the marketplace OR how can I test it today? can you provide some info? I'm not familiar with building vs-code extensions. Thanks in advance.

[auchenberg]

@eltoncezar I've pushed https://github.com/auchenberg/vscode-browser-preview/releases/tag/v0.5.4 which contains the fix

[eltoncezar]

many many many thanks! it's working again!

[auchenberg]

Yay, glad to hear @eltoncezar

I'm seeing this in 0.5.9. I can work around it it by opening Browser Preview manually and then running the launch command. This results in browser panels so I close the one I opened manually. Here's the launch config I'm using:

{
    "type": "browser-preview",
    "request": "launch",
    "name": "Browser Preview: Launch",
    "url": "http://localhost:9000",
    "webRoot": "${workspaceFolder}"
},
