Hi, all I’m pleased to annonce that ocamlearlybird 1.0.0~beta1 just released. Will soon be available on opam. ocamlearlybird is a debug adapter for OCaml language. It can let you debug your ocaml program in vscode like debugging javascript. This is a big step that we toward 1.0.0. We solved lots …

I still wasn’t able to use this. I tried several projects, different systems, but everytime I start a debug session on VSCode nothing happens, the program doesn’t run, the buttons do nothing, no stack variables shown.

Have you installed earlybird on opam? And what will output if you exec ocamlearlybird in your shell？

I have it installed. When I start the debug session it runs the ocamlearlybird command in the integrated terminal but nothing happens and no output is given.

You may installed the old version. Please do opam update and opam upgrade earlybird.

The earlybird version I have installed is the latest one.

OCaml 4.11 is the only supported version. Do you use other versions? Run ocamlearlybird serve --verbosity=debug --port=4712 on your shell. And add debugServer: 4712 to your launch configration. Paste logs of ocamlearlybird here, then I can see what happened.

Yes, I’m using 4.11. Here you have the logs ocamlearlybird: [INFO] Debug adapter server listening at port 4712ocamlearlybi - Pastebin.com It seems that he’s connecting and even pausing at breakpoints, but in the interface nothing happens. It says the call stack is paused on entry, and shows no vari…

A stupid guess: there are two “OCaml Debugger” extensions by hackwaly; could it be you have the wrong one? (iiuc, the one with no icon and less downloads is the right one) [image]

I see it paused at entry. Do next or run button have no effects? “Stop on entry” is a bit different from other debuggers. It didn’t run any instruction and give you a chance to peek loaded modules and set breakpoints on them. So no callstacks and variables is expected result.

I have the correct version of the plugin installed. Now I got it, I was defining breakpoints on the source code instead of using the loaded scripts. Now I’m able to use everything.
