        "request": "launch",
          "program": {

          "args": [
            "-no-console"

            "1"

  • ~/Kwik/SingleBook/Solar2D/src/main.lua
  

• open main.lua in Visual Studio Code and press F5 (Run > Start Debugging)

  main.lua needs lldebugger.start()

  if os.getenv("LOCAL_LUA_DEBUGGER_VSCODE") == "1" then
    local lldebugger = loadfile(os.getenv("LOCAL_LUA_DEBUGGER_FILEPATH"))()
    lldebugger.start()
  end
