Debugging ASP.NET Web App on VS Code Linux doesnt work - asp.net

Question

I'm testing out ASP.NET Core using this tutorial: https://www.blinkingcaret.com/2018/03/20/net-core-linux/
When building and running from the terminal, both the CLI and Web app works fine:
Web app:
dotnet run
Using launch settings from /home/peter/Documents/dotnet_linux/Reminders.Web/Properties/launchSettings.json...
info: Microsoft.AspNetCore.DataProtection.KeyManagement.XmlKeyManager[0]
User profile is available. Using '/home/peter/.aspnet/DataProtection-Keys' as key repository; keys will not be encrypted at rest.
Hosting environment: Development
Content root path: /home/peter/Documents/dotnet_linux/Reminders.Web
Now listening on: https://localhost:5001
Now listening on: http://localhost:5000
Application started. Press Ctrl+C to shut down.
However from VS Code 1.28.1 I can only run the CLI app. When I add a configuration for the web app:
{
// Use IntelliSense to find out which attributes exist for C# debugging
// Use hover for the description of the existing attributes
// For further information visit https://github.com/OmniSharp/omnisharp-vscode/blob/master/debugger-launchjson.md
"version": "0.2.0",
"configurations": [
{
"name": ".NET Core Launch (web)",
"type": "coreclr",
"request": "launch",
"preLaunchTask": "build",
"program": "${workspaceFolder}/Reminders.Web/bin/Debug/netcoreapp2.1/Reminders.Web.dll>",
"args": [],

},

},

}
},
{

"request": "launch",
"preLaunchTask": "build",
// If you have changed target frameworks, make sure to update the program path.
"program": "${workspaceFolder}/Reminders.Cli/bin/Debug/netcoreapp2.1/Reminders.Cli.dll",
"args": [],

// For more information about the 'console' field, see https://github.com/OmniSharp/omnisharp-vscode/blob/master/debugger-launchjson.md#console-terminal-window

},
{
"name": ".NET Core Attach",
"type": "coreclr",
"request": "attach",
"processId": "${command:pickProcess}"
},
]
}
I get the error
This DLL does indeed exist.
I have looked through all config options for launch.json here: https://github.com/OmniSharp/omnisharp-vscode/blob/master/debugger-launchjson.md but not found anything

You have an extra angle bracket.
Change
"program": "${workspaceFolder}/Reminders.Web/bin/Debug/netcoreapp2.1/Reminders.Web.dll>",
to
"program": "${workspaceFolder}/Reminders.Web/bin/Debug/netcoreapp2.1/Reminders.Web.dll",
