How to run in debug & test mode?

[SGarno]

How can I run Guark in debug mode from VSCode? Engine.new is undefined since it requires the guark cli.

Also, I need to run tests that interoperate with the UI and Guark. How can I bootstrap tests where Guark is enabled?

Im linux only atm so cant help you with mac/win configuration but this is how i do it on linux:

guark-build.yml needs some debug flags attached.

linux:
  ldflags: "ldflags=\"all=-N -l\""

then you can build and run in debug mode:

guark build --rm && dlv --listen=:2345 --headless=true --api-version=2 --accept-multiclient exec ./dist/linux/YOURAPP

and attach an debugger (i dont know how to do it from VSCode... but in Goland you would just add a remote debugger configuration that connects to localhost:2345
