I can't set a breakpoint in JavaScript files in my MVC projects in Visual Studio Community 2015 Update 3. I get this error at bottom left of Visual Studio.
A breakpoint could not be inserted at this location
I can set breakpoints in C# files, but not JavaScript files.
Here is what I've done so far to troubleshoot:
- checked web.config includes:
compilation debug="true"
- solution configuation set to "Debug"
- browser is Internet Explorer
- added
BundleTable.EnableOptimizations = false;
to BundleConfig.cs - tried adding breakpoints in both generated files during debugging as well as source code JS files when not running
- Rebuilt project, restarted Visual Studio
- Repaired Visual Studio
- Created new projects with both .Net Framework 4.5.2 and 4.6.1
- also tried all suggestions listed in this post Breakpoint Failed to Bind - Visual Studio 2015
Set 'Configuration Manager' => Debug
You really can't debug a javascript code on vs2015 and below but on vs2017 its already possible. Just make sure to Enable JavaScript debugging for ASP.NET by going to Debug>Debugging>General menu.
