pwa-msedge not working

[Tom-H2oThermo]

Environment (please complete the following information):

• OS (e.g., Windows 10):MS Windows 11 Pro
• Extension version (e.g., 1.2.3):v2.1.1

Describe the bug:

I have developed an Excel add in function in Node.JS. Appendix A of "Debug add-ins on Windows using Visual Studio Code and Microsoft Edge WebView2 (Chromium-based)", https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/dev/add-ins/testing/debug-desktop-using-edge-chromium, has an example of a launch.json file. This example say to include in the configurations array "type": "pwa-msedge" but I'm getting an error message that says I should use "type": "msedge" instead. Is this correct? Am I missing an add-in for the pwa-msedge to work? Also, I'm getting an error with the "useWebView": true, line; it doesn't like the true statement. Any guidance would be appreciated.

Repro steps:

By viewing the launch.json I can see these error messages.

Expected behavior:

I would expect that the pws-msedge line should work as described in the Appendix A of the referenced document.

Additional context:

@vidorteg it sounds like our documentation for the extension might not up to date. Can you help @TomMcAuliffe on this? And let me know if you think we need to update our docs?

@TomMcAuliffe just to double check: did you read the launch.json documentation we have here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/visual-studio-code/microsoft-edge-devtools-extension/launch-json ?

Thank you for getting back to me. I managed to get this working this morning after trying many things. To be honest, I'm not sure what specifically resolved my issue. In addition to Miscrosoft Edge for tools, I have installed Microsoft Office Addin Debugger, even though this is deprecated. I installed the JavaScript Debugger (Nightly). This morning when I tried again, I got a notice asking if I wanted to install Live Preview, which I did. This is the debug launch.json option I'm running.
{
"name": "Excel Desktop (Edge Chromium)",
"type": "msedge",
"request": "attach",
"port": 9229,
"timeout": 600000,
"webRoot": "${workspaceRoot}",
"preLaunchTask": "Debug: Excel Desktop",
"postDebugTask": "Stop Debug"
},

Anyway, it now seems to be working for me.
