Debugging

There are a few different methods available for debugging your Julia code.

The option that provides the most control is the gdb like debugger enabled through the package Debugger.jl. Within VS Code, the Julia supported IDE, a debugging session can be started by adding Debugger to your environment (Pkg.add("Debugger.jl")), adding the line using Debugger to your code, and then hitting F5. I recommend commenting out the using Debugger line when you are done as I’ve run into minor performance issues in the past when leaving it in. In VS Code there is a DEBUG CONSOLE tab next to the terminal (opened with CTRL-SHIFT-\`). This tab is where you can execute commands while at a breakpoint to manipulate variables and the behaviour of your code.
