Unable to start debugging. .NET Debugging is supported only in Microsoft versions of VS Code. See https://aka.ms/VSCode-DotNet-DbgLicense for more information

Am I missing something obvious ? This works in vscode. So can I simply not f5 debug in cursor ?

2

Unfortunately, Microsoft blocks access to this :confused:

3

which leads me to another obvious question (but i have not seen an answer)
Why can’t cursor ai just be a plugin like similiar tools (cosine) ?

im guessing its because you need functionality beyond what a plugin can do ?

4

As a standalone application, Cursor has more control over the IDE, enabling greater AI integration possibilities.

Cmd-k and some of our other features aren’t possible as a plugin, as are many of the things we’re building toward in the future!

Hi, what alternatives do we have in this case?

I just have to have VS2022 open and cursor and jump back and forth. So cursor ends up getting in the way and being used solely for the chat window.

To run and debug .NET projects in Cursor, you can use the netcoredbg project - a managed code debugger for CoreCLR with an MI interface. You can find it at Samsung/netcoredbg.

Here’s an example of my launch.json configuration: Debugging .NET Projects in Cursor with netcoredbg: launch.json Example · GitHub

too bad. they would increase development and usage of their platform etc.

Yeah I’m doing the same. You need a lot of screens by the way :wink: Thanks for the automate file change detection :smiley:

Has anyone encountered the problem:

Starting: “C:\Program Files (x86)\netcoredbg\netcoredbg.exe” --interpreter=vscode --server=4711 C:\Users\vid66"${workspaceFolder}“/bin/Debug/net9.0/Program.dll “C:/Program Files (x86)/netcoredbg/netcoredbg.exe --interpreter=vscode”
Error from pipe program ‘netcoredbg.exe’: Error: Unknown option C:\Users\vid66"${workspaceFolder}”/bin/Debug/net9.0/Program.dll
The pipe program ‘netcoredbg.exe’ exited unexpectedly with code 1.

I think it’s extremely important to find a way to have it supported by default - at the moment I need to switch on using VSCode/Rider to debug, but having AI helping during the debug can be even more interesting for Cursor users…

We just released our own C# extension, which has the open-source netcoredbg debugger built in. You can get find it by searching for @id:anysphere.csharp in the extension marketplace – attaching a screenshot. Could you give this a try and share whether it works for you?

This is amazing. Just last week I was thinking of switching from VS Code to Cursor for one of our C# projects, and if I had tried it back then this solution wouldn’t have existed. Thank you for releasing this, it works great for us!
