Description

Environment (please complete the following information):

  • OS (e.g., Windows 10): OSX 14.3
  • Extension version (e.g., 1.2.3): v2.1.5

Describe the bug:

Hello ! It looks like my vscode edge debugger is launching a 2nd instance of edge?

I can select my Personal profile within it after it launches, but it doesn't seem like I can sync my settings? :O

I tried adding the profile directory argument but that didn't seem to work :O

Can I just launch my person edge browser for use with the debugger?

Cheers! 🙏

Research direction

Start by reproducing the launch behavior on OSX 14.3 with Microsoft Edge Tools for VS Code v2.1.5, using the reported profile-directory argument. Then trace how the extension starts Edge and handles profiles. Done means the debugger can launch or attach to the user's Personal Edge profile with the expected settings synchronization behavior.
