Support Visual Studio 2022 Preview

[tmech]

Describe the feature

First things first: I love the intent and the design of this integration. Well done!

I spent a few hours trying to get an existing Dapr based actor system to debug in Visual Studio 2022 after playing with the DaprSidekick samples. It didn't occur to me that VS could be the problem because the logs looked identical up to the point where I tried to call one of my actor methods. It failed with an address not found error "ERR_ACTOR_INVOKE_METHOD error invoke actor method: error finding address for actor type MarketActor with id US". The health checks were also not firing which may indicate something is not getting hooked up in the same way as in VS2019.

The services.AddActor calls were executed, apparently successfully. When I tried the same solution in VS2019, I got a number of DI errors during F5 that I did not get in VS2022. Fixing the DI error did not change the behavior in VS2022. This issue reproduces with the Actor sample in your repo, so I didn't provide a link to my own repo.

Before we take a look at this, could you please see if the problem occurs without using Sidekick i.e. launching your application in the "classic" way using "dapr run" and with Sidekick disabled or removed. Just to determine if the issue is with the official Dapr SDK rather than Sidekick.

Just to let you know I tried this today with the VS2022 Preview 5 and default dapr init setup with Dapr 1.4.2, and our ActorSample worked out of the box with no errors. Here's the output:

Are you still getting the same problem?
