Is there any IDE alternative to VSC+debugger?

General Usage

With current state of the debugger in VSC only allowing to run it once, the utility for me of VSC itself dropped to very low. Only the code navigation facilities still makes me using it.

Are there any alternatives (Sublime?, neovim?) that let us do interactive debugging too?

Is this a new problem with Julia 1.11, or does it also occur with Julia 1.10?

Julia 1.10 here

I mean, you can use GitHub - JuliaDebug/Debugger.jl: Julia debugger without using VSCode.

Yes, I could, but I quit that type of dubbuging some 30 years ago. :smile:

I guess then you are out-of-luck (I would be happy if someone proofs me wrong). The Julia VSCode plugin has a limited quality, and this did not really improve in the last five years. I guess this will only change if a big company with a lot of funding steps in.

I’m afraid I fully agree with you. But then, Julia as a language has to openly admit that it doesn’t provide users with with a modern debugger.

Do you think any information provided here is wrong?

Yes. This is currently false.

So create an issue and tell the authors: Issues · modernjuliaworkflows/modernjuliaworkflows.github.io · GitHub

You didn’t report an issue for the website “modern Julia workflows”.
Reporting issues to the authors of the VSCode Julia extension is nice, but usually has no effect, unless it is a very easily to fix issue. There are only two contributors to this software, and they are also busy with a lot of other tasks.

I think I reported where it should be reported.

But you wrote: “Yes. This is currently false.” And if you want to have this statement corrected you need to create another issue at a different site.

Thanks a lot. I think this is due to some modification in VSC itself as when it stop working I reverted to a couple VSC-JL-extension versions back to where it worked but the bug showed there as well.

Pre-release build v1.127 should have a fix. Could someone try it and report back whether that solves it?

I’ll gladly try it, but how do I install a pre-release? I don’t see that option from “Install Specific Version…”

Thanks, blind of me. I had seen this before when I was not searching for it.
