❔ Free and open source IDE ? / How to make debug console work in CLI ?
Hello, I'm wondering is there any good free and open source IDE to program in .NET ? (with Avalonia)
I didn't find any and I really don't want to use anything proprietary. I've tried using Helix with Omnisharp and Netcoredbg however I can't figure out how to make the damn
Debug console work.
For instance :
When ran with dotnet run just returns nothing at all. I don't understand why and how to fix it. All stuff I've seen used an IDE to solve that issue.55 Replies
The closest you can get would be VS Code with DevKit plugin
Maybe VS Codium with the DevKit plugin
But if you're looking for a full-scale IDE that's both open-source and free, there's none
Oh OK thank you @ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
I don't think Dev Kit is available on VSCodium
Dev Kit isn't open-source
Apparently there is a Microsoft C# plugin on VSCodium
Yeah that's probably Omnisharp, which is the "old" C# extension
oh OK
Is it outdated ?
Well, it works
But it offers a sub-par experience compared to DevKit
okay
Do you know what needs to be ran in CLI to get the debug console ?

I want to limit proprietary on my system
I don't trust Microsoft or any thing that isn't open source

Well, limiting yourself willingly and going against the grain does make life suck often
I came here to solve one of my issues as a beginner in C#, not to discuss my choices in software and licenses
But hey, it's your choice

If you want to go full tinfoil hat open-source, use Vim with C# LSP
You'll be miserable, but zero proprietary anything

Wait, is the LSP open-source?
Use HolyC

With all respect I just want to know how to open a debug console in CLI right now
There must be some way to do that, but I can't find it anywhere online

You can't find it anywhere online because nobody does it
Everybody just uses VS or Rider, VS Code worst case scenario
And use their debuggers

It's hard to find information about how to cut food with spoons, because the community of anti-knifers isn't particularly large

Avalonia for VSCode - Visual Studio Marketplace
Extension for Visual Studio Code - Avalonia tools for Visual Studio Code
https://avaloniaui.net/IDE-Extensions
Here's officially supported IDEs, VSCode is the only "IDE" that is officially supported and Open-Source.
As previously mentioned.
And regarding VSCodium I have no clue what it supports and what it doesn't.
Never used it.

I don't know if it's a debugger or not
I just know that when I type
Debug.WriteLine nothing shows up when I run dotnet runUnknown User•10mo ago

I never said it was a debugger, I said it was called the debug console in some ides
It's what's being used in Avalonia documentation and my lessons
