I tried to compile Chromium with the following commands:
gn gen --ide="vs2019" --winsdk="10.0.19041.685" out/Default
autoninja -C out/Default chrome -j 8
And I get a folder with the project (all.sln) and binaries. When I open a solution project (in VS 2022) and try to start debugging (windows local debugger), Visual Studio doesn't just run the compiled binary, instead calls ninja and try to start program(???) named "common_deps_clang_newlib_x64" and cant find them. If i start without debugging (CTRL+F5), i have a same error. And if i change "common_deps_clang_newlib_x64" to eg. "executable_deps_clang_newlib_x64" i have a same error. How to correctly setup this project?

Of course, i can use standard debugging, but here is what is written about it:
Using Visual Studio without Intellisense
It is also possible to debug and develop Chrome in Visual Studio without the overhead of a multi-project solution file. Simply “open” your chrome.exe binary with File->Open->Project/Solution, or from a Visual Studio command prompt like so: devenv /debugexe out\Debug\chrome.exe . Many of Visual Studio's code exploration features will not work in this configuration, but by installing the VsChromium Visual Studio Extension you can get the source code to appear in the solution explorer window along with other useful features such as code search. You can add multiple executables of interest (base_unittests.exe, browser_tests.exe) to your solution with File->Add->Existing Project... and change which one will be debugged by right-clicking on them in Solution Explorer and selecting Set as Startup Project. You can also change their properties, including command line arguments, by right-clicking on them in Solution Explorer and selecting Properties.
And VsChromium does not work with VS 2022
