You might also need to enable breakpoints anywhere in VS code
user setting file.
Awesome! After finding the right combination of flags (-g and
-m64 fed to dmd via dflags-dmd in my dub.json) this works quite
nicely. Thanks a lot!
Is there anywhere I can contribute this as documentation?
I cannot debug my app with mago-mi. I click debug button, but
nothing happen. I have installed cpptools, mago-mi,
webfreak.debug, and I have tried vscode-dlang and code-d. My
launch.json:
{
"version": "0.2.0",
"configurations": [
{
"name": "Debug",
"type": "mago-mi",
"request": "launch",
"target": "${workspaceRoot}/bin/exp.exe",
"cwd": "${workspaceRoot}",
"preLaunchTask": "build"
}
]
}

Nevermind on this one. Turns out something was off with the gdb
from my MinGW installation. Got a new one from
http://www.equation.com/servlet/equation.cmd?fa=gdb , placed it
where it can be found and it runs. Yay!
However: I cannot seem to get breakpoints to work. When my
executable is launched, the debug output says "No symbol table is
loaded. Use the "file" command.". Is there any special flag I
need to set in my dub.json? Should I point the "target" and "cwd"
in the launch.json anywhere but the executable that pops up in my
${workspaceRoot} (e.g. one of the sub-folders of .dub/build)?

However, this executable stops working as soon as I run it from the command line. Double-clicking it from the explorer opens a gdb console. I added it to my path anyyhow, but clicking on debug in vscode with a launch.json with "type": "mago-mi" doesn't do anything. With GDB it should just work though, if you can run `gdb` from the command line. If you can only run it through some MinGW command line version, try running vscode over the command line there gdb is in my path, I can run it from the command line.
