Local variables in sync methods are not visible in the VS debugger

[DaemonSharps]

Environment:

• OS: windows
• Framework: net6.0
• Type of application: Nunit Test Application
• Version of AspectInjector: 2.8.1

Describe the bug Local variables are not visible when debugging synchronous methods when using AspectInjector.

To Reproduce I am using example from README

  [Aspect(Scope.Global)]
  [Injection(typeof(AroundTests_Simple))]
  public class AroundTests_Simple : Attribute
  {
          [Advice(Kind.Around, Targets = Target.Method)]
          public object AroundMethod([Argument(Source.Target)] Func<object[], object> target,
              [Argument(Source.Arguments)] object[] arguments)
          {
              return target(arguments);
          }
      }

Use with synchronous test method.

[TestFixture]
    public class TestClass
    {
        [Test]
        [AroundTests_Simple]
        public void Test()
        {
            var test = 1;

            Assert.True(test == 1);
        }
}

And get that exception:

But with async method it works correctly:

Additional info: Old issue for async methods https://github.com/pamidur/aspect-injector/issues/71

It is a side effect of the way around method is implemented. I didn't catch it earlier somehow :) Asyncs have a bit different implementation thought. I'll look into it! Thank for the report

[pamidur]

please see if 2.8.2-pre3 fixes it for you?

[DaemonSharps]

Yes, it`s work! Thank you!!!!

@pamidur Can you please release an official 2.8.3 release (and also update Aspects.Universal to use this latest fixed version 2.8.3 from AspectInjector) ?

[pamidur]

I just released 2.8.2 today. It should contain all the latest fixes. I'll update Aspect.Universal soon

@pamidur I'm used the 2.8.2 and 2.8.3-pre1 but for some reason I still get the same issue for an exception in a try-catch ?

• Note that this method is synchronous. But the main method flow is async.
• This is an old .NET Framework 4.8 style project

Could this still be an issue?

[pamidur]

I well could. Please reopen the issue, I'll take a look at exception block behaviour

Note that this method is synchronous.

@pamidur - I cannot reopen this issue because I did not create it.

[pamidur]

No worries, I'm on it

Hello, I've had the same issue with a WPF project using .Net Core 3.1 Downgrading to version 2.4.1 of aspect-injector solved the issue. Hope it can help you.

No worries, I'm on it

Did you have time yet to fix this?

[pamidur]

still looking into it, sorry, don't have much time recently :(

I've solved this issue with a split of Around Advice in Before and After. And now the debugger works fine :

        [Advice(Kind.Before, Targets = Target.Method)]
        public void BeforeMethod([Argument(Source.Name)] string name, [Argument(Source.Type)] Type instanceType, [Argument(Source.Arguments)] object[] arguments)

and

        [Advice(Kind.After, Targets = Target.Method)]
        public void AfterMethod([Argument(Source.Name)] string name, [Argument(Source.Type)] Type instanceType, [Argument(Source.Arguments)] object[] arguments, [Argument(Source.ReturnValue)] object result)
