RY.Aspire.Debugging.Extensions

Overview

RY.Aspire.Debugging.Extensions is a .NET library that provides an extension method for configuring Visual Studio debugging inside Docker containers. This extension adds a custom command to your Aspire resources, enabling you to install and set up the VS debugger with ease.

Learn more about Aspire custom resource commands here.

Installation

Install the package using the .NET CLI:

dotnet add package RY.Aspire.Debugging.Extensions

Usage

Below is a basic example of how to use the extension as a custom command in your Aspire resource:

using RY.Aspire.Debugging.Extensions;

var builder = DistributedApplication.CreateBuilder(args);

// Configure your Docker container with VS debugging support
var apiContainer = builder.AddDockerfile("my-api", "/path/to/api", "src/WebAPI/Dockerfile")
    .WithVsDebug() // This adds the custom command for VS debugger setup in Aspire
    .WithLifetime(ContainerLifetime.Persistent);

// Build and run the application
builder.Build().Run();

Here’s what the Setup VS Debugger command looks like in Aspire’s UI:

Setup VS Debugger command in Aspire

By clicking on this command, the debugger setup process is initiated inside the Docker container.

Additional Resources

For more details on how to attach the Visual Studio debugger to processes running inside a container, please refer to the Visual Studio documentation on attaching to a process.
