Discussion

The dotnet cli has implemented this at it’s core. But the debugger is unfortunately not taking this file into account. See the discussion / implementation at https://github.com/dotnet/cli/issues/6617 (@DustinCampbell is looped-in there as well.)

I’d be happy to create a PR when pointed into the right direction.

Hey @gregg-miskelly, thanks for fixing this! Is see a fixed status, but 1.15 is still in beta. Any timeframe on when 1.15 is released?

Thanks for the hard work, I have a PR ready for our projects to simplify our configs. 🎉

@gregg-miskelly Thanks. I thought it was supported as the Feature Request even contains applicationUrl under “Steps to reproduce”. I created an issue for it: #2296
