Flint Debug Extension for VS Code

Visual Studio Code debugger extension for Flint.

Configuration

This extension must be configured correctly before it can be used properly!

1. Ensure you have the Flint debug adapter flint-da installed correctly somewhere in your system.

$ flint-da --help
Usage:

    $ flint-da

Options:
    --log-file [default: ] - File to write logs to
    --log-level [default: ] - Logging level
    --rpc-url [default: http://localhost:8545] - Ethereum client RPC URL
    --input [default: ] - Input, defaults to stdin
    --output [default: ] - Output, defaults to stdout

2. Go to VS Code settings and set Executable to the full path of flint-da.

Usage

1. Create a launch.json file with the Flint Debug default configuration.

2. The configuration should look like this in your launch.json.

{
    "type": "flint",
    "request": "launch",
    "name": "Ask for transaction hash",
    "txHash": "${command:AskForTransactionHash}",
    "artifactDirectory": "${workspaceFolder}/bin",
    "rpcUrl": "http://localhost:8545"
}

3. Change the artifactDirectory and rpcUrl if your setup is different from the default values.

4. Run the configuration. It should prompt you for a transaction hash to debug.

5. Start debugging!
