Failed: "Unable to find debugger script at ..."

Background

In order to debug your remote app, the vsdbg needs to be installed. The VS Linux Debugger attempts to install vsdbg automatically if it cannot find the path, .vs-debugger in your home directory (by default). This sometimes fails for various (system/IT) reasons. During deployment of your app, the vsdbg install line in the log looks like so.

09:46:08.480: BASH> [ -d ~/.vs-debugger/vs2022 ] || curl -ksSL https://aka.ms/getvsdbgsh | bash /dev/stdin -v latest -l ~/.vs-debugger/vs2022
09:46:08.507: Returned: 

Workaround

1. Validate on your remote machine if the .vs-debugger path exists in your home directory.
2. Manually install vsdbg
