As the title states, I am having troubles debugging any C# project in dotnet 6. Running the project as usual works fine, but the "Debug Output" from JetBrains Rider says that some pdb files of the framework itself won't load.
I initially tried debugging with my usual IDE, JetBrains Rider, which have worked just as normal until yesterday. Although my program, an aspnet 6 app, doesn't output any errors, the "Debug Output" shows the following:
Loaded Assembly '/home/main/.dotnet/shared/Microsoft.NETCore.App/6.0.21/System.Net.Security.dll'
Loading module /home/main/.dotnet/shared/Microsoft.NETCore.App/6.0.21/System.Net.Security.dll in application domain 1:clrhost
Pdb file for assembly /home/main/.dotnet/shared/Microsoft.NETCore.App/6.0.21/System.Net.Security.dll was not found or failed to read
Loaded Assembly '/home/main/.dotnet/shared/Microsoft.NETCore.App/6.0.21/System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.dll'
Loading module /home/main/.dotnet/shared/Microsoft.NETCore.App/6.0.21/System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.dll in application domain 1:clrhost
Pdb file for assembly /home/main/.dotnet/shared/Microsoft.NETCore.App/6.0.21/System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.dll was not found or failed to read
... and so on which continues for a few hundred lines or so.
This is the case for all projects I try to debug, including (but not limited to) completely untouched Console Apps in dotnet 6 and 7. In the project I initially tried to debug, the debug session just shut down after getting past the aspnet controller when I made a request to it.
I have tried disabling "Enable external source debug" in Rider (which seems to be the equivalent of enabling "Just my code" in VS), but this didn't have any effect whatsoever.
I then tried the "dotnet run --debug" command, which didn't display any of the "Debug Output" (that could be seen in Rider), though the program still stopped after I made a request to the api.
I got similar debug output messages to those I mentioned before in vs code, which I thought confirmed it was my dotnet installation that was broken. To reinstall it, I removed the /usr/share/dotnet and the ~/.dotnet directories. I then ran the dotnet-install.sh script twice, first with the arguments --channel 6.0 --runtime aspnetcore
and then with just --channel 6.0
.
After the reinstall I still get the same result as before. I scoured the internet, even turning to chat-gpt for salvation, but in the end, I'm still at square one.
Thank you for your help!
P.S: Not that it seems to matter as the error persists in dotnet 7, but the dotnet sdk version I am using is 6.0.413 and the runtime version is 6.0.21.
Edit 1: I also tried debugging a Hello world application as root, which also did not work, meaning the problem is most likely not due to insufficient permissions.
The debugging worked all along and the debug output error messages appears on all Linux and Mac OS devices that I tested.
The problem was that a faulty SQL connection string (passed to ef core) caused the program to crash without error messages and without the debugger breaking execution.
