How to debug genie code?

[monikagujar]

I am very new to Julia and, Genie.

I am using visual studio code, so tried modifying the launch.json file for debugging.

launch.json

{ // Use IntelliSense to learn about possible attributes. // Hover to view descriptions of existing attributes. // For more information, visit: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=830387 "version": "0.2.0", "configurations": [ { "type": "julia", "request": "launch", "name": "Run Server", "program": "${workspaceFolder}/MyApp/bootstrap.jl", "args": [ "s" ], "stopOnEntry": false, "cwd": "${workspaceFolder}/MyApp", "juliaEnv": "${command:activeJuliaEnvironment}" } ] }

Genie version = "4.7.1"
julia_version = "1.7.2"

Same issue: #423

I mostly use Julia's logging: https://docs.julialang.org/en/v1/stdlib/Logging/ instead of Debugger. It's little time consuming then putting breakpoints, watch variables etc but works pretty well

It's definitely worth looking into a step-by-step debugging workflow for Genie now that there are quite a few debugger options available in the Julia ecosystem.

I created an issue for follow up work.
