SHIFT + ALT + D is not opening the Blazor WebAssembly debugger in Ubuntu

SHIFT + ALT + D is not opening the Blazor WebAssembly debugger in Chrome 79.0.3945.88 on Ubuntu Ubuntu 18.04.3. I'm able to open the debugger when running the same project on Windows 10. I checked and confirmed that keyboard setting is not currently taken by anything else in the Ubuntu system settings. The project was launched with dotnet run --configuration Debug. Keyboard focus is in the Blazer app. Anyone have any other suggestions or know if this is a known limitation? Thanks

Solution

  • Got it to work using http instead of https. Here are the steps that worked:

    1. In a terminal navigate to the folder named server in the project
    2. Launch the project in debug mode with the command dotnet run --configuration debug
    3. In a different terminal window launch Chrome with the following command. Change paths as appropriate on your system.
    4. /usr/bin/google-chrome-stable %U --remote-debugging-port=9222 --user-data-dir="/WhateverPathYouWantHere" http://localhost:5000
    5. Now in Chrome you should be able to SHIFT + ALT + D to open the debugger tab and be able to navigate to your source files.
