How can I configure VS code to debug scala?

[Charmatzis]

Could you please provide a task for VS code so I can debug a scala app?

I'm not sure what you're suggesting. Is it a Scala debugger for VS Code?

Hi @Charmatzis , Maybe if you're suggesting a debugging feature like the one LLDB/LLVM or NodeJS has in VS Code, I request you to go through these:

1. INTRO: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/debugging
2. DEBUG DESIGN: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/extensions/example-debuggers
3. DEBUG PROTOCOL: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/extensionAPI/api-debugging

I guess he's talking about this, but for Scala: https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode-java-debug. I'm not familiar with VS, can anyone tell if it is trivial to fork this and adapt to work with Scala?

@gabfssilva you may experiment this by supporting the sbt within from the extension (native comms between sbt and the extension host?) and then activate the sbt plugins required to debug the active file?

any news?

Not as far as I'm concerned, I don't know about the others in this thread. There seems to be a lot of interest, perhaps people can pool resources and get it started?
