Configuration

To use this functionality, we simply need to create an entry in the launch.json file.

The important properties here are the ā€œsessionIdā€ and the ā€œrequestā€.

This works much faster than the traditional deploy and debug and really makes your life easier as a developer.

Also, I tried using it for a Production Environment and as expected it didn’t work. Snapshot debugging it is then!

Conclusion

Thus, we saw how we can attach a debugger to an active user session in Business Central.

Happy Coding!
