Description

OS: Windows
Build Version: 20211105.14
Regression: Not a regression

Repro Steps:

  1. Make sure the Chrome browser is not installed and the Edge browser is installed.
  2. Open a Reactsite project in VS Code.
  3. Type cd app in TERMINAL window -> Type npm install.
  4. Navigate to "Run and Debug" view -> Select "Azure Static Web Apps…" in the dropdown list -> Select "SWA: Run app"
    -> Start Debugging.
  5. Check whether pop up a browser window automatically.

Actual:
The debugging hangs and no browser window pops up.

Suggestion:
It would be better if the more browsers support to open the browser window when debugging the Reactsite project, like Edge, Safari.

Research direction

Start with the VS Code Run and Debug flow for the “Azure Static Web Apps…” configuration and the “SWA: Run app” entry point. Reproduce with Chrome absent and Edge installed, then trace browser launching to determine what must change for Edge and Safari; done means debugging opens a supported browser window instead of hanging.
