Cannot debug FSI with net 7 or .net framework in Visual Studio 2022 17.6.0 preview 2

[smoothdeveloper]

For a while I haven't been able to debug scripts either by attaching to fsianycpu.exe or using the right click item on the F# interactive panel.

let xs = [1..100]

for i in xs do
  printfn $"{i}"

I am still able to step through code of loaded assemblies.

If you are on Version 17.6.0 Preview 2.0, can you please try in the latest preview?
The script debugging was fixed by Kevin earlier this year, this does look similar to it.

[smoothdeveloper]

I'm still seeing the same with Version 17.8.0 Preview 1.0

[smoothdeveloper]

@T-Gro, can I get confirmation this doesn't need a repro and that it also fail to debug on your end?

[T-Gro]

Yep, it also fails to debug on latest code from main.

Any news regarding this? I'm trying to debug some fsi and it shows me this window:

[KevinRansom]

This should be fixed in 17.8 when it arrives.

Seems it's nof fixed yet.
I'm running 17.8.1 with net 8 and still cannot debug FSI. I continue getting

Same here. I had to resort to printf for debugging 😭

[KevinRansom]

So ... script debugging works for me if I disable "Just My Code". Did you give that a try?

Yes, I tried with the just my code disabled and I could set breakpoints but the watcher doesn't work:

[majocha]

Same, @blfuentes. No locals, no watch, no values on hover, on call stack.
With "Just my code" disabled I can step through code, which is at least something.

[KevinRansom]

@majocha, yes, locals, watch and values haven't worked for quite a while, we haven't got around to figuring out why - reasons, other issues mainly. #14572

[KevinRansom]

I think we can close this right? we will manage the variables issue with this: #14572

[smoothdeveloper]

I'm trying this again (have to demo fsx scripting to client), and reading to uncheck "Just My Code", as out of box, it doesn't work.

The issue I see is, I'm stepping through the FSI interpreter now, I don't think my client or F# script users wants to see this.

Is there a sense that things should work without "Just My Code" being unchecked, just out of the box (after setting the debugging option for F# Interactive being set)?

[smoothdeveloper]

I mean, it is an excellent tactic to bring more developers, to contribute to this repository 🙂 but I think it will confuse end users basically.

Also, the fact that "Just My Code" has to be unchecked isn't obvious at all to figure out.
