Debug
Breakpoints
-
Prerequisites: See Running via Launch Task from source to see how to run the development version of Dendron from inside the IDE
-
GOTCHA: mocha has low timeouts and you might run into tests failing when stepping through them. if you are stepping through a test, you'll want to set the timeout property to a high number (eg.
1e5) to avoid this
Development
For testing Dendron Plugin, you can set a regular breakpoint inside of VSCode.
For non plugin code, this won't work. The current workaround is to manually add a debugger; statement inside the code. The extension will hit it when restarted under the debugger.
Breakpoints in the Server
The Dendron plugin communicates to the dendron server for most operations. To debug server side code:
From Debug
Go to text ā
- Launch the server using the build task
start debug serverlaunch task - Update the following settings of Dendron to use a running server through the following workspace setting
dev:
dendron.serverPort": 3005`
- Reload the workspace for the settings to take affect
