I followed the default steps to
- install .NET Core, (linux-package-manager-ubuntu-1604)
- create and open (ASP.NET core Empty) project in VSCode, (
cd ~/projects && dotnet new web -o my-api && cd my-api && code .) - add vscode tasks.json and launch.json(C# Extension), (ms-dotnettools.csharp)
- add breakpoints(in VSCode),
- and start debugging (press F5 in VSCode).
But this doesn't start the webserver and doesn't stop at breakpoints... It does built the project, as I can see files generated in bin/Debug/netcoreapp3.1/
Running dotnet run inside projects root, builds(restores) and runs the webserver, and I can browse to https://localhost:5001 and http://localhost:5000. But can't debug...
This is the created vscode files
launch.json
{

F5 first shows Terminal-tab, then switches to the Debug Console-tab in VSCode
