Automated Debugging

You can automate loading the extension using Chrome's remote debugging and VS Code's launch.json. See below for a sample configuration:

{
  "version": "0.2.0",
  "configurations": [
    {
      "type": "chrome", //or msedge
      "request": "launch",
      "name": "Debug Chrome Extension",
      "url": "https://www.youtube.com",
      "webRoot": "${workspaceFolder}",
      "runtimeArgs": [
        "--load-extension=${workspaceFolder}"
      ]
    }
  ]
}

Place this in .vscode/launch.json and use the "Debug Chrome Extension" configuration to launch Chrome with the extension loaded.
