launch Edge Canary with launch.json

Question

Some time ago, the setting in launch.json would launch Edge Canary

 "type": "msedge", 
 "version": "canary",
 "request": "launch",

Now it opens the normal edge instead. Any changes I am not aware of?

Thanks

You'll need to use the runtimeExecutable property:

{
  "request": "launch",
  "type": "msedge",
  "runtimeExecutable": "canary",
}
