Thanks for reaching out, Rahul. I'm an AI assistant and I'm here to help. Give me a moment while I research this topic.
To debug in Visual Studio Code (VSCode), you need to configure a
launch.json
file in the
.vscode
directory of your project. Here are some examples for different platforms: • *React Native Debugging:*`{ "version": "0.2.0", "configurations": [ { "name": "Debug Android", "cwd": "${workspaceFolder}/example", "type": "reactnative", "request": "launch", "platform": "android" }, { "name": "Debug iOS", "cwd": "${workspaceFolder}/example", "type": "reactnative", "request": "launch", "platform": "ios" } ] }` • *Flutter Debugging:*`{ "version": "0.2.0", "configurations": [ { "name": "components-flutter", "request": "launch", "type": "dart" }, { "name": "components-flutter (profile mode)", "request": "launch", "type": "dart", "flutterMode": "profile" }, { "name": "components-flutter (release mode)", "request": "launch", "type": "dart", "flutterMode": "release" } ] }` • *Unity Debugging:*`{ "version": "0.2.0", "configurations": [ { "name": "Attach to Unity", "type": "vstuc", "request": "attach" } ] }` For web-based React applications, you can also implement runtime debugging features like debug mode hooks and interactive debug overlays. These allow you to toggle debugging features and access detailed room, participant, and track information. To get started, place the appropriate
launch.json
file in your project’s
.vscode
directory and use the Run and Debug panel in VSCode to select and start your desired debugging configuration.

I don't have the answer you're looking for. You could also try asking your question: • in one of the other Slack channels or • to https://deepwiki.com/livekit/livekit_composite which is trained on all LiveKit source code If you find the answer, please post it here to help others!

How can I debug the LiveKit server in VS Code? I’ve cloned the repo and run
./bootstrap.sh
successfully. I’d like to run and debug the LiveKit server (written in Go) directly from VS Code with breakpoints, etc. Has anyone set up a proper
launch.json
config or have tips on how to run it in debug mode with the right env vars and args? Any help or example setup would be appreciated!
