Debugging 4D Code Directly in Visual Studio Code
For Visual Studio Code users working with 4D, a new extension called 4D-Debugger that works with 4D 20 R8 is now available.
The new 4D-Debugger extension brings powerful new debugging capabilities to Visual Studio Code, expanding on the features of the 4D-Analyzer introduced earlier. With this extension, you can set breakpoints, step through 4D code, and inspect variables from the Visual Studio Code interface. This tool integrates seamlessly, simplifying the debugging process and making VS Code a more versatile workspace for 4D projects.
Enhancing the Debugging Experience
Debugging plays a vital role in any development process, and improving the debugger’s functionality and usability can significantly enhance a developer’s productivity. From 4D 20 R8, 4D has introduced several improvements to its debugger and remote debugger. These updates focus on saving user-defined settings, making managing and reusing expressions easier, and redesigning the overall interface.
