Is it possible to use this debugger with VS Code?

[NatElkins]

I see it supports the VS Code protocol, but I don't see any documentation on how to actually use it from VS Code, just the CLI. Is this something that is supported?

Thank you!

I see this comment by @dkattan, so I think it must be possible. That's my exact use case, to use the debugger with Cursor.

Yes, NetCoreDbg supports VS Code Debug Adapter Protocol. You can find the protocol documentation at https://microsoft.github.io/debug-adapter-protocol/. In terms of VS Code integration, https://code.visualstudio.com/api/extension-guides/debugger-extension can be useful. In terms of Cursor integration, I've seen people sharing their configs at https://forum.cursor.com/, so this also might be useful.

Yup let me show you how I got it working, launch.json:

    {
        "name": ".NET Core Launch (netcorDbg)",
        "type": "coreclr",
        "request": "launch",
        "program": "${workspaceFolder}/Gy_08_OBS_SINGL/bin/Debug/net8.0/Gy_08_OBS_SINGL.dll",
        "args": [],
        "cwd": "${workspaceFolder}",
        "console": "integratedTerminal",
        "stopAtEntry": false,
        "externalConsole": false,
        "pipeTransport": {
            "pipeCwd": "${workspaceFolder}",
            "pipeProgram": "bash",
            "pipeArgs": ["-c"],
            "debuggerPath": "/usr/bin/netcoredbg", //your install of netcoredbg
            "quoteArgs": true
        }
    },

@veghivan What architecture are you on? I'm on an M3 Mac.

An old lenovo t470s running Arch meaning x86_64.

Thanks, I'll close this anyway as it's clearly possible, I just need to get my hands on the right binary.
