Cannot debug angular project in WebStorm due to crbug/1173575

Question

My environment was working fine for weeks, until out of nowhere I started getting the following errors when trying to debug a project. Nothing changed in the project, so I suspect something happened with Chrome.

The project builds and runs fine with ng serve -o, but the moment I try to run it in Debug mode, I get the following error:

crbug/1173575, non-JS module files deprecated.

Restarting the PC did not help. Googling around for solutions only brings some solutions for VSCode, where you delete launch.settings file. I use WebStorm, and the only two options in configuration are:

URL: https://localhost:4200
Browser: Chrome

Any pointers on getting to the bottom of this?

Answer 1

The problem was my angular server not running.
