Installation

Install the package using the .NET CLI:

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:

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