I have an Angular app (.Net Core backend). I can create configurations in the launch.json file and debug with Firefox, Chrome, Edge, etc. But I don't see any option for Safari!

QUESTION - How do I create a configuration for Safari to use instead of Chrome when launching the debugger? When I click 'add configuration' in launch.json, which option do I select for Safari? Do I need a separate extension?

  • have you tried setting the runtimeExecutable to Safari? I dont' own a Mac so I can't test, but it might have a similar enough debugging protocol to chrome. Otherwise, it's not natively supported by VS Code Commented Feb 23, 2022 at 9:27

I found some links for you:

Set the BROWSER environment variable before executing the start command may help.

This environment variable is documented here: https://create-react-app.dev/docs/advanced-configuration/

By default, Create React App will open the default system browser, favoring Chrome on macOS. Specify a browser to override this behavior, or set it to none to disable it completely. If you need to customize the way the browser is launched, you can specify a node script instead. Any arguments passed to npm start will also be passed to this script, and the url where your app is served will be the last argument. Your script's file name must have the .js extension.
