This is also related to [this post](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/how-to-debug-a-script-in-existing-repl-using-vscode/60822/3) and @pfitzseb has created an issue on Github related to top level debugging, currently in backlog (see [here](https://github.com/julia-vscode/julia-vscode/issues/2146))  
So do think there is currently a solution (except wrap the code into a function) but thanks to the wonderful VSCode dev, we may have one soon 🙂
