Can't launch Dev tools integration from remote session

See original GitHub issue

Now this might be that my environment is just all kinds of messed up, but something is not working right.

Environment: VSCode running in WSL2 (Ubuntu 20.4) Edge hosted in Windows (Windows has 91.0.864.71, 93.0.946.1, and 93.0.958.0 installed but Version 91.0.864.71 is started only ever started with this config no matter what options I configure) ms-edgedevtools.vscode-edge-devtools installed globally image

Launch config:

    {
      "name": "Launch to Edge",
      "type": "pwa-msedge",
      "request": "launch",
      "port": 9222,
      "sourceMaps": true,
      "url": "http://localhost:9000/*",
      "webRoot": "${workspaceRoot}"
    }

When debugging clicking on the dev tools icon fails to launch the integrated dev tools pane and opens the extension pane with the query: @id:ms-edgedevtools.vscode-edge-devtools but this extension is already installed image

When checking the version of the launched browser it starts downloading updates and then fails: image

I am also experiencing this issue, launching of Edge browser and the Javascript debugger are attaching correctly. The “Open Browser Devtools” action in the debug overlay widget will just prompt to install “ms-edgedevtools.vscode-edge-devtools” extension, even though it is installed.

This has unfortunately gotten stale. I’m assuming that @bgoddar’s comment above means the problem is fixed, so I’m closing this issue.
