Does not work with NWjs + angular?

[ka1izer]

Hi,

Launching NWjs correctly works, but it fails to attach, timing out saying "Cannot connect to runtime process, timeout [...] (reason: Can't find a valid target that matches: chrome-extension://*/http://localhost:4200/client/no. Available pages: [[...]_generated_background_page.html]). "

Before it times out, I can manually open "http://127.0.0.1:9223/json/list" and see two entries, one for the _generated_background_page.html, and one for our app (BUT with url = "http://localhost:4200/client/no/login")

(In package.json: main = http://localhost:4200/client/no)

The problem seems to be that the extension expects the url to be prefixed with "chrome-extension://*/", and ng server (?) has redirected or something, so it isn't prefixed...

For now, I have solved this by specifying urlFilter = "http://localhost:4200/client/no/*" in launch.json, and manually editing the source of the extension, so that it always uses args.urlFilter, never launchUrl to find process to attach to. (Line 134 in chromeDebugAdapter.js).

Am I way off here? Is there another way to fix this?

(Another point: We have our angular app project in one folder and nwjs setup (package.json etc) in another, and need to set webRoot = angular-folder and cwd = nwjs-folder to get breakpoints to work. If we do that, the default extension tries to find chrome-extension://*/index.html, (because it gets the url from the angular package.json, I assume). I don't really see how we could set this up so the unmodified extension would work... )

Latest version (1.0.18) of Debugger for NWjs, latest version of VsCode (1.39.2).
Windows 10.
Angular 8.
NWjs 0.41.2/0.42.1 (same for both).
