Cannot debug the library in external projects

[MarvinKlein1508]

🐛 Bug Report

You can't simply debug the core library within external projects.

💻 Repro or Code Sample

1. Clone: https://github.com/MarvinKlein1508/FluentUI-Debug-Issue
2. Open in Visual Studio
3. Right click the solution and choose: Add->Existing Project...
4. Add the local copy of the Microsoft.FluentUI.AspNetCore.Components project
5. Add project reference to the added project
6. Start debug

🤔 Expected Behavior

I expect the app to boot up normally.

😯 Current Behavior

The app crashes because design themes cannot be initialized. When you comment out the design setup in App.razor and Route.razor the app will boot but all CSS and JS from the components are missing.

💁 Possible Solution

It would be great to have some kind of docs in the repository how we can setup debugging for external projects.

🔦 Context

I need to be able to debug some stuff in our main project which I can't simply copy over and provide to Github.

🌍 Your Environment

• Windows 11 Professional 64Bit
• Latest Firefox and Edge
• .NET and Fluent UI Blazor library Version 4.12.2

I followed the exact steps you described (and as I explained them to you earlier). It works for me:

@vnbaaij can you record a small video for me? Perhaps I'm clicking something wrong?
