How-To: Debug Dapr applications with Visual Studio Code

Manual debugging

When developing Dapr applications, you typically use the Dapr CLI to start your daprized service similar to this:

dapr run --app-id nodeapp --app-port 3000 --dapr-http-port 3500 app.js

One approach to attaching the debugger to your service is to first run daprd with the correct arguments from the command line and then launch your code and attach the debugger. While this is a perfectly acceptable solution, it does require a few extra steps and some instruction to developers who might want to clone your repo and hit the “play” button to begin debugging.

Developing Dapr applications with Dev Containers

Deprecation notice

The Visual Studio Code Dev Containers extension lets you use a self-contained Docker container as a complete development environment, without installing any additional packages, libraries, or utilities in your local filesystem.

Dapr has pre-built Dev Containers for C# and JavaScript/TypeScript; you can pick the one of your choice for a ready made environment. Note these pre-built containers automatically update to the latest Dapr release.
