Configure Vs like VScode

Hi folks,
I have an ok complex project (fsharp and orleans) that I managed to run with devspaces using vscode! It just needs a bit more effort than the usual due to the non standard location of some things! I would want to replicate the config in vs ! I can't figure out how tho!

The structure of the project is:
root:

• azds.yaml

• charts/etc

• secrets.dev.yaml

• dockerfile

• dockerfile.develop

• src

  • data/ this contains domaindata.fs and fsproj
  • server/ this contains the webapp (netcore web host)

The docker container knows how to deal with this
and azds.yaml has the following:

configurations:
  develop:
    build:
      dockerfile: Dockerfile.develop
      useGitIgnore: true
      args:
        BUILD_CONFIGURATION: ${BUILD_CONFIGURATION:-Debug}
    container:
      sync:
        - "!**/*.{sln,fsproj}"
      command:
        [
          dotnet,
          run,
          --no-restore,
          --no-build,
          --no-launch-profile,
          -c,
          "${BUILD_CONFIGURATION:-Debug}",
          "--project",
          "./src/Server",
        ]
      iterate:
        processesToKill: [dotnet, vsdbg, Server]
        buildCommands:
          - [
              dotnet,
              build,
              --no-restore,
              -c,
              "${BUILD_CONFIGURATION:-Debug}",
              "./src/Server",
            ]

Then I configured vscode like this:

        {
            "name": ".NET Core Launch (AZDS)",
            "type": "coreclr",
            "request": "launch",
            "preLaunchTask": "azds: prelaunch",
            "pipeTransport": {
                "pipeCwd": "${workspaceFolder}",
                "pipeProgram": "azds",
                "pipeArgs": [
                    "exec",
                    "--interactive",
                    "--on-exit-resume-up",
                    "--verbose",
                    "--"
                ],
                "debuggerPath": "/vsdbg/vsdbg",
                "quoteArgs": false
            },
            "cwd": "/src/src/Server",
            "program": "/src/src/Server/bin/Debug/netcoreapp3.0/Server.dll",
            "sourceFileMap": {
                "/src": "${workspaceFolder}"
          }}

Now I just need to
azds daemon --import azds/azds-vsdbg:15.3@/vsdbg:/vsdbg in the workspace root and hit f5 in vscode and all is nice!

Is there a way to get to the same config in vs?

Thank you

Hi @giulioungaretti, is there a reason you'd prefer to use VS to VSCode?

[giulioungaretti]

@amsoedal a few reasons 🐱‍👤

• A minor one is that is the vim emulation in VS works better than VSCode
• VS can handle mixed Lang solutions (f# and c#) where as VSCode can't
• And in my team some folks use VS because they are more familiar

:D

@giulioungaretti. Do you happen to have a minimal project structured this way and we could investigate what issues the VS tooling might have with the custom layout. I know by default with a new FS web project in VS we scaffold .csproj in Dockefile.develop as we have only supported c# until now.

@dbreshears I'll try to compile one!
