When publishing my ASP.NET Core Web API to AWS using the AWS Toolkit in Visual Studio, the process fails with a Timeout error.
After digging into the logs, I was able to find more detail:
2023-07-24 20:05:08,571 [9] DEBUG Amazon.AWSToolkit.Publish.Install.DeployCli - Finished initializing aws.deploy.tools
2023-07-24 20:05:18,534 [1] DEBUG Amazon.AWSToolkit.VisualStudio.Lambda.LambdaTesterEventListener - Registering Debugger events

System.Exception: Unable to determine project FileName
at Amazon.AWSToolkit.VisualStudio.Lambda.LambdaTesterUtilities.<EnsureLambdaTesterConfiguredAsync>d__2.MoveNext()
Is there ea workaround? Is this a known issue in the AWS Toolkit for Visual Studio?
This is a known issue in the AWS Tookit.
The work-around is to delete the PublishSettings.json file located in Windows Explorer here:
%localappdata%\AWSToolkit\PublishSettings.json
Aside from that, to get out of this situation where you cannot access the more established publishing experience, delete the file and try opening the project's context menu again.
