Visual Studio Code debugger doesn't stop at breakpoints

Question

https://github.com/discord-bot-tutorial/Community-Discord-BOT The c# debugger for vscode doesn't stop at breakpoints with this specific project. I have tried creating a new project with dotnet new console dotnet restore
which worked correctly and I tried it with another project I created in Visual Studio Community 2017 which worked exactly as it should too.

launch.json and tasks.json https://gist.github.com/M4N1/daff738de1d5cbcf8cf3fdc461c3a83c

Update

I just tried the same thing on Ubuntu 18.04 (instead of win10) where it worked perfectly fine with the same version of vscode (1.28.1).

Answer 1

If you have upgraded your .Net Core SDK recently, just update netcoreappX.X

 "program": "${workspaceFolder}/CommunityBot/bin/Debug/netcoreappX.X/CommunityBot.dll"

in launch.json file. Check your .Net Core SDK version by dotnet --version

I use this configuration and work only if I insert this two line

// "stopOnEntry": true
// "justMyCode": false

{
  "version": "0.2.0",
  "configurations": [
    {
        "name": "Python: Debug Current File",
        "type": "python",
        "request": "launch",
        "program": "${file}",
        "console": "integratedTerminal",
        "stopOnEntry": true,
        "justMyCode": false
    },
  ]
}

In VSCode 1.20 and 1.21 does not allow you to hit breakpoints. VSCode 1.18 works fine

If you are using VSCode 1.21 set the outFiles parameter in your launch config

Workaround - Try Deactivate then reactive breakpoints after debugging has started, Or, right click the breakpoints pane and "Reapply all breakpoints".
