Question

Breakpoint does not work during the test either with NUnit and MSTest. Visual Studio 2022, Net 6

Andrzej 26

Hi, I've created test project in my solution and when I want to debug my code set breakpoint it doesn't work when I click debug and it whole flow looks the same when I click run.

I don't have idea what should I do. I tried everything what I found in google but nothing help.
I made restart general settings in visual, I was looking any setting in tools, test, debug, build tab.

Maybe it is any magic way to correct this because it hard to write tests.
I can add that when I create new project new solution I've installed xUnit and it works so I guess it exist some problem in visual. Even reinstall visual studio didn't help.

If you need more information about my configuration VS 2022 please let me know.

Thanks for any help

Hi @Andrzej ,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!

Do you have any error message or warning when the breakpoint doesn’t work? Are you debugging your test project in Debug or Release mode?

If it is in Release mode, the breakpoints will not be hit. Please disable Just My Code and try again.

Besides, you can try to delete the .vs folder in your project folder and try again.

Sincerely,
Anna

I'm having the same issue too with NUnit v3.13.3 (latest version), yes in Debug mode. We are not using auto-generated code. Hoving over the breakpoint with the warning chevron states:

The breakpoint will not currently be hit. The source code is different from the original version.

To allow this breakpoint to be hit: hover over the breakpoint, click the 'Settings...' button that appears, then click 'Location', 'Allow the source code to be different from the original.'

To allow this for all breakpoints, disable the option 'Require source files to exactly match the original version' under Tools, Options, Debugging, General.
