Description
Environment (please complete the following information):
- OS: macOS 12.1
- Extension version: v1.4.5
Describe the bug:
I clicked on launch project in the extension view, and a page that has nothing to do with my project is opened.
Repro steps:
- created a new project with a basic html file. body contained only an h1 tag.
- with the html file active, clicked on launch project in the dev tools view.
- two tabs are opened. one with the dev tools and one with dev tools screen cast
- the screen cast tab shows contents of file:///Users/chris/.vscode/extensions/ms-edgedevtools.vscode-edge-devtools-1.4.5/out/startpage/index.html
Expected behavior:
I expected the screen cast tab to show a page related to my project. (e.g. my only html file titled index.html)
Additional context:
I closed the instance listed under targets in the edge view and clicked on launch instance again after selecting the index.html for a second time. This time the screen cast tab opened for "about:blank". Also unexpected.

Research direction
Reproduce the launch flow from the extension view with a basic HTML project and an active index.html, then compare the DevTools and screen cast tabs. Inspect how the launch project action selects the target, including the reported out/startpage/index.html and about:blank results; done means the screen cast opens the selected project page.
