  Debug in VsCode

  Watch a variable

  En la pestaña watch se puede introducir el nombre de una variable y al hacer debug mostrará siempre el valor de esta variable.

Ocurre lo mismo al hacer click derecho sobre una variable en modo debug. Hay una opción Quickwatch para añadir esa variable.

Go back when debugging

Si te has pasado un breakpoint puedes volver a ejecutarlo arrastrando el punto de ejecucion actual (la linea donde estas actualmente) hasta donde la quieres

Conditional breakpoints

You may also set conditional breakpoints with right click when setting a breakpoint.
