Cannot debug Blazor Wasm application on .Net 6: Unable to attach to browser

See original GitHub issue

Is there an existing issue for this?

  • I have searched the existing issues

Describe the bug

When launching a Blazor wasm application in debug, the browser (either Chrome or Edge) tab will open and the application will crash with “got exception System.Net.WebSockets.WebSocketException (0x80004005): The server returned status code ‘500’ when status code ‘101’ was expected.”

By setting "launchBrowser": false, I can open a Chrome tab to the application but the debugging still doesn’t work.

If I use Shift-Alt-D, I get a page that says Unable to find debuggable browser tab. Could not get a list of browser tabs from http://localhost:9222/json. Ensure your browser is running with debugging enabled.. I can however navigate to http://localhost:9222/json and see the document.

This is very similar to https://github.com/dotnet/aspnetcore/issues/26824 but the fix does not work for me.

I have uninstalled every other .Net sdk version and have tried with my proxy disabled.

This happens with every Blazor Wasm app I can launch including the default project template.

This issue does not happen with Firefox but it shows a message that debugging is explicitly not supported

Expected Behavior

The application should open in the browser all allow breakpoints to be set in the code.

Steps To Reproduce

  • Install .Net 6
  • Create a new project with dotnet new blazorwasm
  • Open the project in Visual Studio 2022
  • Launch the application either with IIS or Kestrel targetting Chrome or Edge

Exceptions (if any)

got exception System.Net.WebSockets.WebSocketException (0x80004005): The server returned status code ‘500’ when status code ‘101’ was expected. at System.Net.WebSockets.WebSocketHandle.ConnectAsync(Uri uri, CancellationToken cancellationToken, ClientWebSocketOptions options) at System.Net.WebSockets.ClientWebSocket.ConnectAsyncCore(Uri uri, CancellationToken cancellationToken) at Microsoft.WebAssembly.Diagnostics.DevToolsProxy.Run(Uri browserUri, WebSocket ideSocket) at Microsoft.WebAssembly.Diagnostics.DebugExtensions.<>c__DisplayClass2_0.<<UseDebugProxy>g__ConnectProxy|5>d.MoveNext()

.NET Version

6.0.202

Anything else?

I’m using Visual Studio Professional 2022 v17.1.6 Using Chrome Version 101.0.4951.41 (Official Build) (64-bit) Using Edge Version 100.0.1185.50 (Official build) (64-bit)
