Can someone point me into Julia’s VSCode debugging Guide/Tutorial(if possible a video tutorial) like C++ in Visual Studio?

I want to run the script and step out, step in, and set breakpoints. See values of variables etc

Something like this: [Debugging your software - 03 - Step Over, Step Into etc. - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tx1MUhSVWMI)

thanks, jerry. I am glad it’s straightforward and doesn’t require launch.json configuration like in JS/EcmaScript 😅

Here are a few good resources to debugging in Julia.

- [Infiltrator](https://github.com/JuliaDebug/Infiltrator.jl) (do note you should run this in a standalone REPL and not the integrated REPL in vscode)
- [Chris Rackaucas talk at Juliacon 2022 on debugging simulations](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g-iOOhh2U6o)
- [Blog post](https://opensourc.es/blog/basics-debugging/) I found one time when searching for examples on on debugging in Julia

Hope these are helpful.
