Enables Visual Studio 2017 to deploy and debug mono application on remote linux machines via SSH.
You have to save a valid SSH connection first!
Menu "Mono"/"Settings..."
- [1] Selects the connection to use for deploying and debugging
- [2] You can create a additional SSH connection
- [3] You can remove a SSH connection (The last connection can not be deleted)
- [4] Enter the remote SSH IP or host name
- [5] Enter the SSH port
- [6] Enter the SSH username
- [7] Enter the SSH password (if there is no password => leave the field empty)
- [8] Mono opens a debug session over this port
- [9] This is where the project output is deployed
- [10] Timeout to connect to the debug session
- [11] Console outputs can be output in the Visual Studio Output window
- [12] All changes are saved after you click on "Save"
- [13] All changes are discarded if you click on "Cancel"
You can deploy your "Startup project" output to the remote machine via SSH configured under "Settings".
Menu "Mono"/"Deploy only (SSH)"
To speed up deployment, SshFileSync is used.
To upload only changed files, an additional cache file '.uploadCache.cache' is stored in the destination folder. Don't delete this cache file!
You can start a debug session in Visual Studio 2017 on the remote machine.
Menu "Mono"/"Debug only (SSH)"
You can run both commands in one step.
Menu "Mono"/"Deploy and Debug (SSH)"
- Support prerequisite Microsoft.VisualStudio.Component.MonoDebugger without copying the dlls
