Visual Studio 2022. Feature 'Edit and Continue' is currently unavailable due to an internal error. Read out of bounds

Question

Suddenly I have started to get aforementioned issue during debugging unit tests. Here is a situation:

1. Open project and open Tests Explorer.
2. Select any test and try to debug it.
3. Got message from title below the tool bar and break point in test would not be honored.

Things I tried with no avail:

1. Update VS version. Has been:17.3.3 Now:17.3.6
2. Repair VS.

Here is stack trace:

Answer 1

Crisis been averted. After following actions situation went back 2 normal:

1. Uninstalled Postsharp nuget from Tests project

2. Removed from test project file following section:

   <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.Net.Compilers.Toolset" Version="3.11.0">
       <PrivateAssets>all</PrivateAssets>
       <IncludeAssets>runtime; build; native; contentfiles;analyzers;buildtransitive</IncludeAssets>
   </PackageReference>
   

And after those actions no errors been produced and break points in tests been hit as expected. Weird.
