Debugging not working

[nathanjcollins]

So it seems like debugging is not working. If I use the debug_project() -> Launch -> Choose my project, nothing happens and it stops there. When I use run_project(), I can select my project and then it gives me the option of 2 profiles (http, https) - it's a minimal API. This works great.

So I try to use debug_project() to attach to the running process and I get the following:

Where can I find logs for this - as I realise the above isn't a great level of detail! My project has multiple projects in a .NET 8 solution.

Hi, Thank you for reporting the issue. Please set the plugin log level to TRACE and send attach the logs to help me identify the problem.

The logs can be found in $XDG_STATE_HOME/nvim/csharp.log or $HOME/.local/state/nvim/csharp.log

I run

require("csharp").debug_project()

then choose

1. Launch - .NET

and nothing happens.

Here's my logs (log level TRACE):

However, if I just run

dotnet build /home/vlad/repositories/repositories.csproj -c Debug

everything is building ok.

[ryanseipp]

Having the same issue here. Plugin thinks the build fails, but running the command myself and everything is successful.

Same issue here

[iabdelkareem]

Thank you for reporting. Unfortunately, I don't have time at the moment to look into it :( I appreciate any contribution if you can, otherwise, I'll start looking into it once I get the chance.

[Skaanning]

I would like to help, but I have no idea where to begin - I am new to all this nvim stuff.

[Skaanning]

I added logger.debug("testout:::" .. output)
between the two lines here - https://github.com/iabdelkareem/csharp.nvim/blob/main/lua/csharp/modules/dotnet-cli.lua#L6-L7

and got the following output

So file:close() gives an non 0 exit_code on that output. Why that is I dont know.

How did you make the change without getting an error in Lazy?
I get this after changing the file as suggested

You have local changes in /home/*****/.local/share/nvim/lazy/csharp.nvim:
* lua/csharp/modules/dotnet-cli.lua
Please remove them to update.
You can also press x to remove the plugin and then I to install it again.

[Skaanning]

Sorry, I don't know - lazy didn't complain when I did it

I run

require("csharp").debug_project()

1. Launch - .NET

and nothing happens.

everything is building ok.

Same issue. Maybe it is something related to structlog?

[iabdelkareem]

Thank you for your patience while I investigated this issue. I can't reproduce the. It might be an environment-specific issue. Could you please confirm if you are running Windows or share details of your environment if you're experiencing this bug?

Example:

• OS: Fedora 40
• Nvim: 10.0
• Dotnet CLI: 8.0.203

[thomasbecker]

Are you guys by any chance running on macOS? I've the same problem and I think it's due to the fact that netcoredbg is not build for Mac.

[Skaanning]

• OS: Windows 11 Pro
• NVIM v0.9.5
• dotnet: 8.0.106

So file:close() gives an non 0 exit_code on that output. Why that is I dont know.

Indeed file:close does not always return a 3 items values (see f:close)

so the code in dotnet-cli.luashould be something like

local output = file:read("*all")
  logger.debug("[DBG CLI] output",{output=output})
-- ok is a boolean stating if the file is correctly closed (in our case if the command exits with a succes (0) code)
-- exit_code is only valued when ok == false 
  local ok, _, exit_code = file:close()  
  if (ok) then
    return output, 0
  else
    return output, exit_code
  end

I've tried it on a fork and it seems to work but still the debugger does not start 😢 For who is interested here is my fork : https://github.com/b3b00/csharp.nvim. I've also merged the roslyn PR #11

[lispercat]

Same issue. BTW, how do you set up a breakpoint?
