I will look at this post-GA.

The current workaround is to print a warning if we detect the auth in the staticwebapp.config.json

What is the current status of this? I was attempting to enable role management and test locally. I expected my GetRoles function to be called but it wasn't after login. I was able to call GetRoles directly. I was hoping not to debug in a live SWA deployment.

I'm using SWA CLI ver 1.01 and C#(.net6).

Hi @c0g1t8,
We have this in our radar and will be working on this shortly. We do not have a timeline yet to commit this, but you should be seeing some update in a couple of months.

Is there any update on this?

I'd like to second this - any progress so far? At the moment trying to debug is not possible for me, as issues only seem to occur in prod, and not on a local dev machine.
