Debug in Rider studio. Step into not working

Question

The problem during debug when I try to press Step into hot key. It is set to F11 and F7 by default. When I try to press F11 nothing happens. When I try to press F7 it steps by code but when it must go into the method(step into it is the command special for this action) my debug mode turn off. Rider turn off debug mode as I did it by button.

I tried to change to another hot key action step into. The result the same. When I try go inside to another method durring step debug and press F7 or other key for step into my Rider stop debug mode.

I have a screen with step into on F8. The same result, my debug mode turn off when I try to go into the method during debug.

How to fix it?

It's the same with me. When I click on step into the debug process is terminated. I'm using Rider arm64. Maybe it's a bug in Rider — Reath, Jan 23 '22 at 18:12
What version of Rider do you use? It works fine for me using 2021.3 — Korfu, Jan 26 '22 at 20:22

I have an answer from JetBrains.

Need to uncheck external debbuging

may I ask you to uncheck Enable external source debug setting (Preferences | Build, Execution, Deployment | Debugger)? Does it help you?

Finally it works

Although this was helpful, it's still doesn't feel like a proper solution – dodbrian Nov 14 '22 at 17:01

This seems to be a bug in Rider [JetBrains Youtrack issue]. I suggest that everyone who's affected votes for this issue to increase the urgency.

A partial solution seems to be: disable "Always do smart step into".

@dodbrian: they have disabled the feature and created [a new issue for adding that feature again](https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/RIDER-83690/Restore-Smart-Step-Into-in-async-code-functionality). I'm not impressed. – Thomas Weller Nov 14 '22 at 17:19

Use JetBrains Rider as the default JIT debugger

Press Ctrl+Alt+S or alternatively select File | Settings from the main menu, then choose Build, Execution, Deployment | Debugger on the left.
Click Set rider as default debugger.
When JetBrains Rider is set as the default JIT debugger and a process calls Debugger.
