Running and Debugging .NET Core Applications

 To run and debug your .NET Core applications, you can use the built-in .NET Core Debugger. You can start debugging by pressing F5 and select the .NET Core Debugger configuration. You can also create a launch.json file with the following content:

{
    "version": "0.2.0",
    "configurations": [
        {
            "name": ".NET Core Debugger (launch)",
            "type": "coreclr",
            "request": "launch",
            "preLaunchTask": "dotrush: Build"
        },
        {
            "name": ".NET Core Debugger (attach)",
            "type": "coreclr",
            "request": "attach",
            "processId": "${command:dotrush.pickProcess}"
        }
    ]
}

 You can change the startup project by clicking on it and executing the Set as Startup Project command from the context menu. You can also change the debugger options in the VSCode settings.

Running and Debugging NUnit / xUnit Tests

Debugging Unity Projects

 To debug your Unity project, you can use the integrated Mono Debugger. Open the Unity project in VSCode (for example, by opening it from the Unity Editor) and start debugging by pressing F5 and select the Unity Debugger configuration. You can also create a launch.json file with the following content:

{
    "version": "0.2.0",
    "configurations": [
        {
            "name": "Unity Debugger",
            "type": "unity",
            "request": "attach"
        }
    ]
}
