[OS X] Unable to debug sample HelloMvc app with latest dotnet CLI

[miguellira]

Although I'm able to properly restore, build, and run the ASP.NET sample CLI HelloMvc app with the latest dotnet CLI, I am unable to properly debug it in VS Code.

Steps to reproduce

git clone https://github.com/aspnet/cli-samples.git
dotnet restore
dotnet build
code .
fn+F5 and modify the program and args properties of launch.json to point to your dotnet executable and DLL accordingly (see sample below)

{
            "name": ".NET Core Launch (web)",
            "type": "coreclr",
            "request": "launch",
            "preLaunchTask": "",
            "program": "/usr/local/share/dotnet/dotnet",
            "args": ["exec /Users/miguellira/Documents/Github/aspnet/cli-samples/HelloMvc/bin/Debug/netcoreapp1.0/HelloMvc.dll",
                     "--additionalprobingpath /Users/miguellira/.nuget/packages"],
            ...[snip]
}

start debugger

Expected behavior

VS Code launches browser and attaches debugger

Actual behavior

VS Code launches browser but the HelloMvc app cannot find Index.cshtml.

InvalidOperationException: The view 'Index' was not found. The following locations were searched:
/Views/Home/Index.cshtml
/Views/Shared/Index.cshtml

You should update your .NET Core SDK bits to the latest. There's been a lot of churn over the past few days.

If you install the latest C# extension from https://github.com/OmniSharp/omnisharp-vscode/releases/download/v0.3.9/csharp-0.3.9.vsix into VS Code, you will get a prompt to automatically generate launch.json and tasks.json. Once this is done, F5 works properly for me on OS X. I hit a breakpoint and everything. 😄

@DustinCampbell I've been following the latest changes. Thanks.

As far as I know VSIX is not supported by OS X. Is there any documentation out there for manually installing 0.3.9 of omnisharp-vscode? I've only used the built-in package manager.

[DustinCampbell]

You can install a VSIX into VS Code with File->Open File. It totally works on OS X, Linux and Windows.

Awesome! Learn something new every day!

@DustinCampbell Thanks for the help. F5 on OS X without any issue. 🎉

Not sure if its worth keeping this issue open until 0.3.9 or the next stable build goes live.

Since we've got downloadable bits, I'll go ahead and close this.
