The chrome is opened, but displays blank page.

I have the same problem since time ago. I assumed it was a local problem. In VS2022 everything works fine. In VSCODE the debug does not work well. I had the problem with .NET6, I upgraded to .NET7 and the problem is still the same.

With edge there is no difference.

While I wait for a solution I debug with the chrome developer tools. It more or less meets my needs, at moment.
Workarround steps in windows command line:
dotnet run
"chrome-path\chrome.exe" --remote-debugging-port=9222 --user-data-dir="user-data-path\AppData\Local\Temp\blazor-chrome-debug" scheme://localhost:port/
And now in chrome: shift+alt+D. Then debug blazor in file://

Thanks @LZD121 !

You'll need to add the inspectUri property. Please see the documentation here for more information.

Marking this as resolved. Please let us know if you're still experiencing this issue after following the guidance in the documentation above.

Hi, @TanayParikh thanks. I have followed all the steps of the documentation but it does not solve the problem.

I do the tests by creating a clean project.

More info,

With Microsoft.AspNetCore.Razor.VSCode.BlazorWasmDebuggingExtension v1.1.0 and v1.0.1 the same error happens.

But, with Microsoft.AspNetCore.Razor.VSCode.BlazorWasmDebuggingExtension v1.0.0 apparently it launches the browser fine, and the debug proxy connects.
I only comment this in case it helps you, since version 1.0.0 fails for other reasons.

cc/ @thaystg in case you have context on this issue

[thaystg]

Yes, this is fixed in this PR: dotnet/razor#7929
We need to merge it and ship it, I'm not sure how to do it :)

[jorgepinetta]

Thanks @thaystg

I don't believe this issue is resolved because I am experiencing it now in VSCode using the blazorwasm template with no modifications. I get the same "Unable to launch browser" issue.

[TanayParikh]

The issue has been resolved via the PR mentioned above. The code hasn't yet shipped so you'll still be seeing the older behavior for now.

I have the same issue.

• I start Edge in the debugger - no page is loaded
• I insert manually the url of my project into the Edge debugger
• Blazor wasm app loads
• After a short time the Edge in debugger stops working and quits.
• I see the error message above

When will be the fix shipped?
