I am running for cycle where I load text data files and post process them. One of the files is corrupted and I got an error.

Is there possibility to run the julia program in vscode and start debbuging after the error. St like matlabs _dbstop if error_.

Yes. Run your code trough the VSC debugger interface with `@run your-fun-call()` and it will stop at the error site.

Recent versions of Debugger.jl can now enable `bp on error` and `bp on throw`, if that’s what you mean
