Problem to run chrome debugger in VS Code

Question

Hi I've got a problem to run Chrome Debugger directly in VS Code. I'm working on Linux Mint.

Now i try to run debugger and error message says: Unable to launch browser: "Unable to find Chrome version stable. Available auto-discovered versions are: ["dev"]. You can set the "runtimeExecutable" in your launch.json to one of these, or provide an absolute path to the browser executable."

Following the sugesstion I've added runtimeExecutable to chromeExecutable and now the error is:

Unable to Attach to the browser.

Google Chrome is installed on my machine version: 83.0.4103.116-1.

Thanks for help in advance

1. Type chrome://version/ in Chrome browser.

Copy the Executable Path to runTimeExecutable

Now Copy this snippet in launch.json::
"configurations": [
    {
      "name": "Launch Chrome",
      "request": "launch",
      "type": "pwa-chrome",
      "url": "http://localhost:3000",
      "webRoot": "${workspaceFolder}/public",
      "runtimeExecutable": "/Applications/Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google Chrome"
    }
]
