Docker Compose Start/Debug No Longer Works in Visual Studio 17.9.0

[groogiam]

I updated Visual Studio today to 17.9.0 and docker compose debugging is completely broken. The containers are started on solution load but starting and debugging does not work. Output from the container tools window is below. No process is actually started in the container and the debugger is never attached.

docker ps --filter "status=running" --filter "label=com.docker.compose.service" --format {{.ID}};{{.Names}}
docker-compose  -f "C:\Users\UserName\source\repos\myprojectV2\src\DockerCompose\docker-compose.yml" -f "C:\Users\UserName\source\repos\myprojectV2\src\DockerCompose\docker-compose.override.yml" -f "C:\Users\UserName\source\repos\myprojectV2\src\DockerCompose\obj\Docker\docker-compose.vs.debug.g.yml" -f "C:\Users\UserName\source\repos\myprojectV2\src\DockerCompose\docker-compose.vs.debug.yml" -p myproject-web --ansi never up -d --no-build

Hi @groogiam. We tested just now on 17.9 and didn't see any issue with Compose debugging. Can you try a "Clean" and if it still reproces, can you share your build and debug logs from VS. What version of Docker Desktop are you on? Are you able to share your compose file?

[groogiam]

@dbreshears I've tried on Docker 27.2 and rolled back to 26.1 with the same problem. I am attempting to roll back visual studio to the previous version to see if this persists. If it does I'll try a clean install of Visual Studio.

I don't really want to share my compose files publicly but if I would be happy to share a private One Drive link with them. I would need your email address for that though.

Thanks.

I think the best way to share all this privately is through Developer Community. Can you open an issue here so you can provide the files and we can track. https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/VisualStudio/report

I did some more testing and this appears to caused by hosting my project on the a Dev Drive. I'm not sure if it is something with Dev Drive or not being on C:\ but debugging stops working when I have my code at D:\repos\MyProject.

I created a developer community issue as well. https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/t/Visual-Studio-1790-Breaks-Docker-Compo/10585320

Closing here as this is now tracked on developer community.
