Debugging Azure website from Continuous Deployment
August 8. 2016 0 Comments
Alright so today I needed to do some debugging on a website that was deployed on Azure since I could not reproduce the bug locally. Using Visual Studio I was able to get my debug session running in seconds. Here's how I did it:
- Using the Server Explorer view I connected to my Azure Subscription
- Right-click on the website that needs debugging and chose Attache Debugger
- VS got to work........... for some time then it started telling me that my DLLs would not disassembly since they were not PDBs found (side note...when deploying a website with Azure CD it always use Release environment)
- Went back to the portal and added this app settings: SCM_BUILD_ARGS => /p:Configuration=Debug
- Went to the deployment blade and from the active deployment I clicked redeploy
After the re-deployment was finished I attached the debugger the same way I did before and that was it.... I could see exactly that thing I forgot to write a unit test for :(. Gotta go fix it now
until then
