How to debug OrchardCore source code in an existing project, such as a symbol server?

[hyzx86]

At present, my project is like this：

1. I put the source code of OrchardCore in a directory at the same level as the root directory of my existing project (not sln folder).
2. Then copy the OrchardCore.sln to my project directory and fix the reference path problem, such as adding \..\..\ before the reference path.
3. Then add all my existing projects to the new solution。
4. Change all package references to project references

		<OrchardCoreLibrariesRoot Condition="Exists('$(SolutionDir)..\..\..\OrchardCore\src\OrchardCore')">$(SolutionDir)\..\..\..\OrchardCore\src\OrchardCore</OrchardCoreLibrariesRoot>
		<OrchardCoreModulesRoot Condition="Exists('$(SolutionDir)..\..\..\OrchardCore\src\OrchardCore.Modules')">$(SolutionDir)\..\..\..\OrchardCore\src\OrchardCore.Modules</OrchardCoreModulesRoot>

<ItemGroup Condition="'$(OrchardCoreLibrariesRoot)' == '' AND '$(OrchardCoreModulesRoot)' == ''">
	
		<PackageReference Include="OrchardCore.ContentFields" />
		<PackageReference Include="OrchardCore.Module.Targets" />
		<PackageReference Include="OrchardCore.ContentManagement" />
		<PackageReference Include="OrchardCore.ContentTypes.Abstractions" />
		<PackageReference Include="OrchardCore.DisplayManagement" />
		<PackageReference Include="OrchardCore.Navigation.Core" />
		<PackageReference Include="OrchardCore.Queries.Abstractions" />
	</ItemGroup>

	<ItemGroup Condition="'$(OrchardCoreLibrariesRoot)' != '' AND '$(OrchardCoreModulesRoot)' != ''">
		<ProjectReference Include="$(OrchardCoreLibrariesRoot)\OrchardCore.Navigation.Core\OrchardCore.Navigation.Core.csproj"  />
		<ProjectReference Include="$(OrchardCoreLibrariesRoot)\OrchardCore.Queries.Abstractions\OrchardCore.Queries.Abstractions.csproj" />
</ItemGroup>

But there is a problem, and the compiler prompts:

The severity code indicates that the project file line forbids display status. 
The type "Views_VueForm_CommonTemplate" in error CS0436 "\ Codes\ ProjectName1\ src\ Modules\ Common\ xx.OrchardCore.VueElementUI\ obj\ Debug\ net5.0\ Razor\ Views\ VueForm-CommonTemplate.cshtml.g.cs" conflicts with the import type "Views_VueForm_CommonTemplate" in "StatCan.OrchardCore.VueForms.Views, Version=1.0.6.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null". 
Please use the type defined in "\Codes\ProjectName1\ src\ Modules\ Common\ xx.OrchardCore.VueElementUI\ obj\ Debug\ net5.0\ Razor\ Views\ VueForm-CommonTemplate.cshtml.g.cs". 
xx.OrchardCore.VueElementUI (net5.0) \Codes\ProjectName1\ src\ Modules\ Common\ xx.OrchardCore.VueElementUI\ obj\ Debug\net5.0\Razor\Views\VueForm-CommonTemplate.cshtml.g.cs 4 activities

I don't know what's going on. I guess it's some msbuild instructions.

I wonder if there is an easy way to debug the source code of OC, such as a symbol server?

@hyzx86 for version 1.1. certain Modules has symbols published but some don't - issue is tracked here #9990

Thanks ！

Update:
I've found it easier to debug OC code this way, the only downside is that it's not in the same solution

1. Run the Powershell script
2. Run CTRL +F5 in my solution
3. Attach to the process in the OC source code

更新一下：
我发现这种方式可以更方便的调试OC代码，唯一的不足就是不在同一个解决方案

1. 执行下方Powershell 脚本
2. 在我的解决方案中ctrl+F5 运行
3. 在OC源码中附加到进程

Powershell

# $myPath  = xxxx.Cms.Web\bin\Debug\net5.0\
$ocpath = "..\OrchardCore\src\OrchardCore.Cms.Web\bin\Debug\net5.0\"
$ocBuild = Get-ChildItem $ocpath 

$mybuild= Get-ChildItem $myPath  | Where-Object { $_.Name -match"^OrchardCore(.*)dll"  } 
foreach( $my in $mybuild){
    foreach($ocItem in $ocBuild){
        if($my.Name -eq $ocItem.Name){
            Copy $ocItem.FullName  $my.PSParentPath
            Copy $ocItem.FullName.Replace("dll","pdb")  $my.PSParentPath
            if(Test-Path $ocItem.FullName.Replace("dll","xml")){
                Copy $ocItem.FullName.Replace("dll","xml")  $my.PSParentPath
            }
            Write-Host "Replaced : " $my.FullName
        }
    }
}

It worked!

And if you use jetbrains rider and run your code, dll from oc would be override when building. To disable building, open Run/Debug Configuration, copy your config and remove build project from Before launch.

And I use abs path:

$myPath  = "C:\Users\i\source\repos\inbornking.net\4.code\2.reading\Tk.Application.Web\bin\Debug\net5.0\"
$ocpath = "C:\Users\i\source\repos\OrchardCore-1.1.0\src\OrchardCore.Cms.Web\bin\Debug\net5.0\"

Recently, OrchardCore has no effect on the latest code after upgrading .net6.0. . 😢
