Hi, everyone,
I am using Debugger.jl in VS Code REPL. It seems that there is a problem of the @enter macro, as following code shows:
```julia
julia> using Debugger
julia> foo(x) = x^2
foo (generic function with 1 method)
julia> @enter foo(2)
ERROR: UndefVarError: @enter not defined
Stacktrace:
[1] top-level scope
[2] include_string(::Function, ::Module, ::String, ::String)
at .\loading.jl:1088
julia>
```
I am using Julia 1.5.1 and Debugger version 0.6.6
How could I avoid this error message and use Debugger in VS Code REPL?

Just omit the `using Debugger` and you’ll use VSCode’s visual debugger.
If you prefer the text-based debugger then do:
```julia
import Debugger
Debugger.@enter foo(2)
```
This avoids the collision with `VSCodeServer.@enter` (which is exported too).

Thank you Tim, perfect explanation! Help me a lot since I’ve struggled with Debugger for long time.

Is it possible to use `Debugger.@enter` so that I can navigate with the gui of vs code and the variable explorer? My use case is that I would like to evaluate a several lines of code in a script with `Julia: Execute Code Block` (Alt+Enter) and then just would like to debug a specific function, which arguments depend on the code evaluated ahead.

No, but you can just use the exported `@enter` available in the integrated REPL instead.

For me `@enter` isn´t defined, but maybe I use the wrong REPL. However, `VSCodeServer.@enter` works for me.

That’s probably because you said `using Debugger` and the conflict between the two definitions of `@enter` meant that neither was available. Just don’t say `using Debugger`.

Sorry, I forgot to answer. You´re right. I used `using Debugger` inside the startup.jl-file
