Well done. Quick, simple, and clearly explained. Not too fast, not too slow and words clearly articulated. Thanks.

[coreyrunyon]

Perfect! Straight to the point, informative without over explaining, and the variable information I needed like passing a "-f" parameter. Thank you!

[nanometers]

Thank you. I had no idea how to debug programs that required terminal arguments. This helps a lot.

[arielpriarone]

Finally a video that prioritize the useful informations

[mpkrass]

I was searching for this forever. Thank you!

[charalamposkatsoukis]

Absolutely incredible video. Well done Sir! Exactly on point!

[BruceElgort]

Thank you for this! I did not know about this feature.

This video was enough for me to subscribe. Thanks.

[kelvinabambora]

Thank you! Finally, an answer. You my god damn hero! easy subscribe

Thanks, can you make more videos about debugging, like debugging for python file containing imported files

[mrbob]

I don't see that option. All the options I see are "Open a folder", which pops open the file open dialog (useless!), and "Show all automatic debug configurations". If I click that I just see a list, from which I select python, and there is no option to create that file. What do I do?

[PatrickSteil]

Needed to know how to pass both args like --debug=4 and -k value

[raymondfendyj]

Hey, I was doing the 'parse args' steps but I seemed to need to put the args in the order of the list of args defined, which some of them I do not actually need. Can you help me with this? I have around 40 arguments and would not be using all (some have default values). Thank you!

[surfettekw]

How would you (or could you) run debugger through a series of arguments on the same script … like run script on argument a and then do b and then c…..

[mentefria]

what if when I click "create a launch.json file" and then select the python option, nothing happens and I don't get any "launch.json" file?

[billnewsr.]

Very Interesting.

How about a video doing the same but in a Visual Studio Code C# application using MVC?

[pavelgrishin]

you could lay out the REQUIRED info a lot faster. You're a programmer to some extent? Heard anything about optimization?
