Go: Debugging in Visual Studio Code

Step 1: Open Visual Studio Code.

Step 2: Create Test.go application like below.

Test.go

package main

import (
    "fmt"
)

func main() {
    name := "Krishna"
    city := "Bangalore"
    country := "India"

    fmt.Println("name : ", name)
    fmt.Println("city : ", city)
    fmt.Println("country : ", country)
}

Step 3: Add breakpoints

As you see above image, I set break points at lines 8, 9 and 10.

Step 4: Create launch profile.

Click on 4^th icon in the left panel, to open DEBUG window.

Step 5: Open Launch.json file by click on settings icon from the left top panel.

Once you click on the settings button, you can see launch.json file.

You no need to update launch.json right now. If you want any customizations in future, you can update this file.

Step 6: Click on Play button to start debugging.

It opens a debug window, where you can step-in, step-out and step-over.
