Addin does not contain debug launch profiles

The step by step guide indicates that you can select the configuration and then run your addin as a startup project which will then launch the appropriate Revit version:

However I noticed when cloning your samples or even creating a new one using the template there are no debug profiles setup. Setting the RevitAddin as a startup project leads to this error when running:

You've already set the LaunchRevit but i see VS doesnt care about SDK properties. So two ways:

1. use an IDE for humans - jetbrains Rider (recommended)
2. Copy start options to your .csproj (VS only):

  <!-- Launch configuration -->
    <PropertyGroup Condition="'$(LaunchRevit)' == 'true'">
        <StartAction Condition="'$(StartAction)' == ''">Program</StartAction>
        <StartProgram Condition="'$(StartProgram)' == ''">C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Revit $(RevitVersion)\Revit.exe</StartProgram>
        <StartArguments Condition="'$(StartArguments)' == ''">/language ENG</StartArguments>
    </PropertyGroup>

Btw VS works fine with .props files, and failed with .targets

Thank you, I thought so too. Will try Rider eventually!
