Now you can debug that exe inside Visual Studio (as long as its been compiled with debug info) You can also save the solution so next time you just open the solution and you're ready to debug. You can drop source files into visual studio and set breakpoints, but it will also automatically pull up the source when it hits an exception.

But I can't find setup guide for D clearly. hi, if you have the latest code-d version for vscode (webfreak.code-d) you can check in the User Guide (F1 -> code-d user guide) that it has a section about debugging you can check out which should guide you through all the steps to debug. In there you should find all information you need.

There was no D specific setting to be done but as far as I remember just setting the executable file path in the debug json file. The only thing you have to take care of: with older versions of Dub, the executable has OMF architecture, recent versions of dub defaults to COFF (64 bit). Out of the box debugging works only for COFF. Kind regards Andre
