Debugging .NET Core in Docker with VSCode

Hey folks! In this video, I am taking you through a series on docker based development workflows. How to setup, write code, build code, debug , test and do all this inside docker containers. This helps keep development environments really clean and removes coupling of stuff on your system to the code you ship to production. Feel free to follow along, source code is below.

Nice succint guide to debugging docker containers! I'm about to go try your advice as we're deep into an automated testing and being able to quickly bind a debugger to a container under test on the workstation would be amazing. Thanks.

Hi there!
Thanks for this video!!

Is there an update that should be considered now a days in 2023/2024 or are they pretty much the same configurations to debug a dockerized .net core app?

[Zwartepiet]

Baie dankie :-) Really helped me, thanks++!

Great stuff! Is this still the way to do it with aspnet core 3.1? As of November 2020?

[keithrunyon]

What if i want the debugger to catch a line in my program.cs? The code has already run through that, so i don't see how i could trigger it with this method.

Thanks for this excellent guide, Marcel! We are using dotnet 2.1 and I see you are using 2.2, which is now end-of-life. Do you know of any reason not to stick with 2.1 sdk, until we ready to migrate?

Hi, Thanks for your help. Please do Ansible with .Net Core and K8s deployment. I fact I have so much video to request in relation to .Net Core... :}

Hi Marcel, Loved your videos, mate. Question: Can a Non-programmer learn to debug a program?

[razvanvalcaneantu]

Great tutorial, however, I had to solve a few issues: 1. It is "processId": "${command:pickRemoteProcess}", not "processId": "${command:pickProcess}". 2. It is not good practice to run dotnet during build command. You might have problems if you also need to start other dependent containers. Rather build the image by setting an entrypoint (e.g. ENTRYPOINT ["dotnet", "run"] for project workdir), and then the container will start with the final built image.


Thanks!
