Cannot debug in visual studio 2017

Question

I cannot start the debugger in Visual Studio 2017. I get this error

"Cannot connect to runtime process, timeout after 10000 ms - (reason: Cannot connect to the target: connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:1904)"

I went to submit an incident to Microsoft but they want $499 for the pleasure. Don't see why I should have to pay when their software is broken!

Answer 1

I'm using it successfully with the following options enabled.

In Visual Studio go to: Tools -> Options -> Debugging -> General

• Enable JavaScript debugging for Asp.Net (Chrome, Edge and IE)
• Enable Legacy Chrome JavaScript debugger for ASP.NET
