Extension Development Host does not Load

Instead, the Electron home page opens.

Upon running debug with the following launch.json

// A launch configuration that launches the extension inside a new window
// Use IntelliSense to learn about possible attributes.
// Hover to view descriptions of existing attributes.
// For more information, visit: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=830387
{
	"version": "0.2.0",
	"configurations": [
		{
			"name": "Extension",
			"type": "extensionHost",
			"request": "launch",
			"runtimeExecutable": "${execPath}",
			"args": [
				"--extensionDevelopmentPath=${workspaceFolder}"
			]
		},
		{
			"name": "Extension Tests",
			"type": "extensionHost",
			"request": "launch",
			"runtimeExecutable": "${execPath}",
			"args": [
			  "--extensionDevelopmentPath=${workspaceFolder}",
			  "--extensionTestsPath=${workspaceFolder}/out/test"
			],
			"outFiles": ["${workspaceFolder}/out/test/**/*.js"]
		}
	]
}

It opens the following popup:

And then shows a message:

Cannot debug extension (timeout).

However, the same launch.json works fine on the VSCode-linux-x64 release of Visual Studio Code.

Would https://github.com/flathub/com.visualstudio.code (the non-OSS version) have the same trouble?

As far as I remember, that version works fine.
This works for sure.

That's weird.
