go-console-tetris

Test project to get familiar with the basic principles of Go.

Debugging with Visual Studio Code

Since the Visual Studio Code Go debugger plugin does only support the debug console, while termbox needs to read/write from/to /dev/tty, the only quick solution to debug the project with Visual Studio Code, I came up with, is to start a debug server with Delve.

• Install delve (https://github.com/go-delve/delve)
• Start debug server:

$ ~/go/bin/dlv debug --headless --listen :2345 ~/go/src/github.com/gkuehn001/go-console-tetris

• Add the following configuration to your launch.json in VS Code:

{
    "name": "Connect to server",
    "type": "go",
    "request": "attach",
    "mode": "remote",
    "remotePath": "${workspaceFolder}",
    "port": 2345,
    "host": "127.0.0.1",
    "apiVersion": 1
}

• Connect to the delve server with VS Code and start debugging
