INSTALL STEPS

2. Install latest 8.0.100 SDK
3. Install VS Code
4. Install latest-released C# DevKit
5. Apply NuGet Feeds
6. Install Aspire workload

REPRO STEPS

1. Create an Aspire Application in CMD and open with VSCode

  dotnet new aspire -o Aspire
  cd Aspire
  code .

2. Right-click the xxx.AppHost project > Debug > Start New Instance

ACTUAL
The web page cannot be opened automatically, you need to manually click the url in the debug console

Note
The webapp projects without Aspire can automatically open web pages after debugging

EXPECTED
The webpage can be opened automatically after debugging

This is expected right now and requires work in the VS Code C# extension to fix.

Is there a manual workaround for this? My project runs, just no dashboard from devcontainer.

[timheuer]

With the project running the logs will show the endpoint for the dashboard. There may be some port forwarding you have to do a little manually when in devcontainer. I will check my workflow and post here any specific steps.

@ElanHasson I wasn't able to get a workaround -- the dashboard works for me, but the subsequent app ports aren't forwarded

[davidfowl]

Can we link this to the vscode issue?
