Debugging PowerShell Azure Durable Functions in VSCode

Question

While developing my first durable function using PowerShell in VSCode, I am experiencing a troubled debugging experience. Often times the debugger is not attached correctly to my orchestration function so my breakpoints do not hit. Other times they do work correctly.

I realize that POSH + Durable functions will do stuff like creating separate runspaces or something and a remote debugging bridge that is hidden from your experience. What are your experiences with POSH + Durable Functions in VSCode? Does this actually work?

Cheers, Wouter

I have created Powershell Durable Azure functions in VScode to check if debugging works:

Created Durable function and could execute successfully:

To debug your function, write wait-debugger where you want to start debugging.

Go to Run and Debug in the left pane of vscode, Enable Run and Debug:

Choose Add Configuration from the drop down and select Attach to powershell functions.

enter image description here

When clicking on the function URL, it is hitting the debugger point and waiting for further action:
