External Terminal / Debug outside the IDE


I'm starting to use Xamarin Studio, and migrating from VS to it, but when I try to run a console application (the unique one loaded at the moment), fails and throws an exception in Console.Clear() (Supposing I can't do that in an integrated debugger), then i thought that one way to solve it was by compiling it and running it, like Visual Studio does, and Debug the application outside the IDE, but I can't figure out how. Could someone tell me how to solve this problem? Thanks.

EDIT: For any reason, it runs in the embedded window when selecting Release, but it can't read input, so it gets stuck.


Solution

  • You need to set the project option to have it run your console app in an external console:

    Visual Studio For Mac:

    Project Options / Run / Configurations / Default / Run on external console

    Xamarin Studio:

    Project Options / Run / General / Run on external console enter image description here
