Blazor client-side debugging

Question

I noticed that all of my C# breakpoints do not get hit as debugging seems like its disabled for client-side Blazor apps.

Is there a way to attach the debugger or ena

Answer 1

This is a known issue in Blazor projects at this time. The debugger launches slower/quicker than the project assembly and doesn't have time to "see" the assembly. Here is my fix until they solve this. I add a delay in Program.cs so that when the project launches in debug mode, it gives the debugger time to attach properly. I used 5000 ms but you may have to increase this value if your machine is slower than mine.

public class Program
{
    private static async Task DebugDelayAsync()
    {
#if DEBUG
        await Task.Delay(5000);
#endif
    }

    public static async Task Main(string[] args)
    {
        await DebugDelayAsync();

        (...)
    }
}
