HotReload #436
Description
What happened?
As long as Aspire is running I am not able to properly debug a restarted application (Windows.Forms). This might be a Rider or general Aspire problem and not directly related to the Aspire Plugin.
First, what works: I run my Aspire setup with different services. This also includes a management Windows.Forms app. I can exit the app and start it again using the aspire dashboard. Debuging and Breakpoints work fine which is amazing.
Now, if I change some code in my management app that breaks hotreload (e.g. change a method to async), Rider will notify me that hot reload will not work and I need to restart the app. So, I close the app and start it again using the aspire dashboard or Rider itself. This works, but now, any time I have a breakpoint or other reason where the debugger stops the apps execution, I am not able to continue. Rider locks me with "[ENC0085] Changing method from asynchronous to synchronous requrires restarting the application.", which is what I did.
This stays like this until I restart the whole aspire environment itself (which takes many minutes to be ready again).
I am not sure if this will also happen for any hot-reload-breaking change to any of the running services. Also, I did not test what VS does in this case.
Steps to reproduce
- Have an Aspire setup with e.g. a Windows.Forms app.
- Stop the app and make a hot reload incompatible change
- start the app again with a breakpoint that is hit
- now try to continue execution, which will not work.
Expected behavior
Rider lets me continue execution after I restarted the app.
