Configuration

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

The important properties here are the “sessionId” and the “request”.

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!
