VSCode Asp.Net core command line arguments when debugging?

Question

Just been reading this article from Scott Allen.

The approach to specify command line arguments to .net core seems intersing, but how do we pass those arguments from VS Code when running with debugger (Normally using F5 command if launch.json is setup)?

e.g dotnet run dropdb migratedb seeddb

Note: launch.json is found in the .vscode folder under your project.

In your launch.json, try adding:

"args": ["dropdb", "migratedb", "seeddb"]

to the target launch configuration.

Providing Context Inside launch.json

Your launch.json will contain an empty args element by default which looks something like:

{

    "configurations": [
        {
            "name": ".NET Core Launch (web)",
            "type": "coreclr",
            "request": "launch",
            "preLaunchTask": "build",
            "program": "${workspaceFolder}/<YourProjName>/bin/Debug/net6.0/YourProjName.dll",
            "args": [],
            "cwd": "${workspaceFolder}/<YourProjName>",
            "stopAtEntry": false,
            "serverReadyAction": {
            .
            .
            .
            // launch.json file continues...
