@pennisiandrea Do you have the C# Dev Kit extension installed? If so, it may be related to microsoft/vscode-dotnettools#1432

If its just only the C# Extension, can you share the type of project you are trying to debug and launch.json that you are using?

[pennisiandrea]

Hi Warden,
yes, I have C# Dev Kit installed. I posted the error here due to this comment which makes me think that the issue might be related to C# instead of C# Dev Kit.

I have a workspace with two projects. One is a Console application, the another is a WPF. With v2.45.20 of C# extension the issue is on both and it appears to be unrelated to C# Dev Kit extension. This is my launch.json:

{
    "version": "0.2.0",
    "configurations": [
        {
            "name": ".NET Core Launch ASTools.Core",
            "type": "coreclr",
            "request": "launch",
            "preLaunchTask": "Build ASTools.Core",
            "program": "${workspaceFolder}/ASTools.Core/bin/Debug/net8.0-windows/ASTools.Core.dll",
            "args": ["templates","--list"],
            "cwd": "${workspaceFolder}/ASTools.Core",
            "stopAtEntry": false,
            "console": "internalConsole",
            "internalConsoleOptions": "openOnSessionStart",
            "launchBrowser": {
                "enabled": false
            },
            "env": {
                "ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT": "Development"
            }
        },
        {
            "name": ".NET Core Launch ASTools.UI",
            "type": "coreclr",
            "request": "launch",
            "preLaunchTask": "Build ASTools.UI",
            "program": "${workspaceFolder}/ASTools.UI/bin/Debug/net8.0-windows/ASTools.UI.dll",
            "args": ["--page","templates","--working-dir","C:\\Data\\test\\test\\Logical"],
            "cwd": "${workspaceFolder}/ASTools.UI",
            "stopAtEntry": false,
            "console": "internalConsole",
            "internalConsoleOptions": "openOnSessionStart",
            "launchBrowser": {
                "enabled": false
            },
            "env": {
                "ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT": "Development"
            }
        }
    ]
}

Maybe I just have to add the property brokeredServicePipeName (as written in the error message), in this case could you please help me providing some documentation?

[jojorne]

I'm pretty sure this is just an error and it will be fixed soon, that said you can add it:

{
    "version": "0.2.0",
    "configurations": [
        {
            "brokeredServicePipeName": "undefined",
            [...]
        }
    ]
}

[WardenGnaw]

The issue was the debug configuration resolver was injecting a debugger option that should appear in the dotnet debug configuration that the C# Dev Kit provides. This should not affect the coreclr debugging scenarios.

Thank you to everyone for reporting and providing additional information on this issue.
