If you are using the debugger for chrome extension I would check that you are running chrome with remote debugging? I was able to get mine working after I started running chrome with remote debugging. from https://code.visualstudio.com/blogs/2016/02/23/introducing-chrome-debugger-for-vs-code

For now, Chrome needs to be started with remote debugging enabled, and only supports one concurrent connection. This means if you open up DevTools inside Chrome, the connection to VS Code will get terminated by Chrome. This is slightly annoying, and we hope this issue will be fixed sometime soon.

To do this i have a batch file that opens chrome with this command.

start /d  "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application"  chrome.exe --remote-debugging-port=9222
