A debugger for .NET C#

[ccidral]

I couldn't find a C# debugger for Zed, maybe I missed something so before I open a issue I think it's better to open a discussion first.

Ever since I migrated from vscode to nvim the only missing piece for me is a decent C# debugger in nvim. Yes there is debugging support for that in nvim but it's kind of clunky, so whenever I need to use a debugger I have to open vscode. And since I've been trying to migrate from nvim to Zed, a debugger is also an important piece that's missing. How hard would it be to implement a debugger for .NET/C# in Zed?

@ccidral you can use the debugger with c#, you just need to use netcoredbg . Works well for me.

Can you show me an example configuration in .zed/debug.json preferably for asp.net

debug.json
[ { "label": "Launch Core Service (with build)", "adapter": "netcoredbg", "request": "launch", "preLaunchTask": "build", "program": "/Users/xxx/Repositories/axxx/services/xxx/service/bin/Debug/net9.0/service.dll", "cwd": "/Users/xxx/Repositories/xxx/services/xxx/service", "env": { "ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT": "Development" } } ]

tasks.json
[ { "label": "build", "command": "dotnet", "args": ["build", "/Users/xxx/Repositories/xxx/services/xxx/service/service.csproj"] } ]

downloaded netcoredbg.exe x64 zip.

netcoredbg --version
NET Core debugger 3.1.2-1 (83214c3, Release)

settings.json

{
  "dap": {
    "netcoredbg": {
      "binary": "C:/Users/MyUser/.netcoredbg/netcoredbg.exe",
      "args": ["--interpreter=vscode"]
    }
  }
}

The tasks works when run directly through Zed.

tasks.json

[
  {
    "label": "build",
    "command": "dotnet",
    "show_command": true,
    "args": ["build"],
    "cwd": "$ZED_WORKTREE_ROOT"
  }
]

debug.json

[
  {
    "adapter": "netcoredbg",
    "label": "DotnetHelloWorld - Debug",
    "request": "launch",
    "program": "$ZED_WORKTREE_ROOT/bin/Debug/net9.0/DotnetHelloWorld.dll",
    "args": [],
    "stopOnEntry": false,
    "cwd": "$ZED_WORKTREE_ROOT"
  }
]

But doesn't show when I press F5 to start debug.
