I am a Linux noob and I would like to debug a unit test.
If I run my test in MonoDevelop it goes green but if I try to debug everything freeze and I have to stop the debugger. My breakpoint on first line of code is never hit. There is no stack trace or information of what could have failed.
Edit 1: Should I install OpenSuse (since it is Novell and they are behind Mono) instead of Ubuntu ?
For simplicity you should go with the openSUSE vmware client. I selected openSUSE as I wanted to just focus on Mono and not take on the additional challenge of installing and configuring the entire environment. I have had any issues thus far.
The debugger in MonoDevelop is a bit flaky, but any number of things could be causing problems, the MonoDevelop team hangs out at #MonoDevelop on irc.gnome.org. They are quite friendly and can probably help you diagnose your issue.
I've been using Mono/MonoDevelop on Ubuntu for 2-3 years now and have had no reason to move away from Ubuntu. Although I use the Monoxide PPA as a source for MonoDevelop, rather than the version from the standard distribution. The Monoxide PPA is more in sync with the most recent changes to MonoDevelop, and there is a pretty high churn rate on the codebase of MonoDevelop.
