Attaching C++ Visual studio process to 2018 issue.

[Anonymous]

Hey guys, I am trying to debug some code and I can't seem to debug in 2018 for some reason. It is working properly in 2016.

I can attach to the maya.exe and it seems fine but when I set a break point it does not catch. Anyone have a similar issue? 

Attaching the process:

Hi,

Please make sure value of Attach to is Native.

Sometimes automatic will make it Python.

In my case I could solve the issue of my break points not being triggered by simply unloading and re-loading the plugin inside Maya (via the menu Windows -> Settings/Preferences -> plugin-manager) while having the debugger attached. I had the issue with both Visual Studio and VS code
