Cannot debug template - when using @helper DoSmth(){}

[martys]

Hi,

While the RazorEngine parses and executes the @Helper code correctly,
I found myself un-able to debug the 'run-time' generated class after starting to use @Helper
functions in my Razord .cshtml templates

basically - when I click F11 to step into the code, the debugger - jumps over it
removing the @Helper's- let's me step into the generated code and debug it .

Is there any way around this ?

I cannot reproduce this. I could even debug into a @helper function.
Did you set Debug = true and do you give RazorEngine the file path (via new LoadedTemplateSource(template, templatePath))?

[martys]

Yes, I did set the debug = true
and it allows me to step into the code if I don't user @Helper

when I add a @Helper to the razor view, #Resharper suggests that a system.web assembly should be added. and after that - the debugger just jumps over the .RunCompile() statement instead of stepping into it

I should not I'm using this in the console app, not the MVC website

template path - no. I dont' specify.
I read it from the database (in this sample it's a file) , add it and compile it up front

            var config = new TemplateServiceConfiguration();
            // .. configure your instance
            config.Debug = true;
            service = service ?? RazorEngineService.Create(config);
            if (service.IsTemplateCached(EmailBodyTemplateKey, typeof(ConflictCheckEmailModel))) return;

            service.AddTemplate(EmailBodyTemplateKey, File.ReadAllText(@".\EmailServices\Templates\ConflictCheckEmail.cshtml"));
            service.Compile(EmailBodyTemplateKey);

then run it in another method

            var stringWriter = new StringWriter();
            service.RunCompile(EmailBodyTemplateKey, stringWriter, model.GetType(), model);
           // Console.WriteLine("Elapsed : {0} miliseconds : {1}ms", sw.Elapsed, sw.ElapsedMilliseconds);
            Console.WriteLine(stringWriter.ToString());

Try to use

service.AddTemplate(EmailBodyTemplateKey, new LoadedTemplateSource(File.ReadAllText(@".\EmailServices\Templates\ConflictCheckEmail.cshtml", Path.GetFullPath (@".\EmailServices\Templates\ConflictCheckEmail.cshtml")));

But I will look into the generated C# code, maybe something is wrong. But LoadedTemplateSource is the supported way to debug into templates.

Thanks for reporting this it will be fixed in the next version (ie work without specifying the template path).

[martys]

When will it be possible to download it trough nuget ?

[matthid]

Now released in https://www.nuget.org/packages/RazorEngine/3.6.3

Hi, I face the same problem in version 3.10.0

my code is as following and I can't jump into the template file to debug, any advise please?

` var config = new TemplateServiceConfiguration();

            config.Debug = true;
            config.EncodedStringFactory = new HtmlEncodedStringFactory(); // Html encoding.
            var service = RazorEngineService.Create(config);
            Engine.Razor = service;
            
            string template = GetTemplateContent(templateFilePath);
          
            var result = Engine.Razor.RunCompile(new LoadedTemplateSource(template, templateFilePath), new Random().Next().ToString(), null, jsonDataModel);`
