Web apps: remote debugging

[maartenba]

Will need Rider's remote debugger, then investigate feasibility.

Not sure if the implementation will take that into account, but would be nice to be able to debug also Azure Functions hosted on both Windows and Linux plans. This issue is quite old, can I please ask if there is any roadmap for this already?

[triforcely]

Is there any update regarding this issue?

[maartenba]

@triforcely unfortunately not at this moment

[triforcely]

@maartenba looks like good old logging every line will be needed 😅. Thanks for the response.

[mochsner]

Are there any plans to implement this feature still?

[megant]

It's a must have in 2021.

[rafek1241]

As you can see it's still not there.

[maartenba]

Correct. Haven't thought up reliable magic yet to be able to open up a port from within Azure. There is an out of the box experience that does this for Microsoft's debugger, but we are not allowed to use the Microsoft debugger unfortunately (article 1).

I pay tens of hundreds of euros for this product. and have to open Visual studio to diagnose the issue. Shame! We need this. You have done a fantastic job. But need more.

2022, feature still not here. Disappointing :(

[DenisIvanovIvanov]

Still not here :)

[maartenba]

Nothing in Azure has changed to make this possible :-( #85 (comment)

[triforcely]

@maartenba was there any effort from JetBrains to talk with Microsoft/Azure about this?

[maartenba]

Yes there has been.

On a side note, I just thought of a way this could work, at least when the web app runs on Linux or on a container. The az webapp create-remote-connection command can be used to open a tunnel, and theoretically Rider's remote debugger can connect over it. Haven't tested, but may be a workaround for this.

Just tried this and the SSH connection succeeds, but the SFTP connection fails. Seems like it's required for the remote debug option to work.
