When launching a browser debug session from vscode the following error message was displayed:
Unable to find edge version *. Available auto-discovered versions are: . You can set the “runtimeExecutable” in your launch.json to one of these, or provide an absolute path to the browser
I was able to work around the issue by setting environment variables to point to flatpak launchers for the browsers. I added the following to /etc/profile.d/vscode-bluefin-profile.sh:
# Set environment variables for the vscode debugger to find flatpak installations of browsers
# Set linuxChrome.ts, linuxEdge.ts and linuxFirefox.ts at
# https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-js-debug-browsers/tree/main/src to see how these
# environment variables are used by vscode to locate browsers.
export EDGE_PATH=/var/lib/flatpak/exports/bin/com.microsoft.Edge
export CHROME_PATH=/var/lib/flatpak/exports/bin/com.google.Chrome
export FIREFOX_PATH=/var/lib/flatpak/export/bin/org.mozilla.firefox
Is this an appropriate way to help vscode find the flatpak browsers or is there a more bluefin-centric method?
