 - Go back to the `[Extension Development Host]` instance and hover over a Rust variable and your breakpoint should hit.
 
+If you need to debug the server from the very beginning, including its initialization code, you can use the `--wait-dbg` command line argument or `RA_WAIT_DBG` environment variable. The server will spin at the beginning of the `try_main` function (see `crates\rust-analyzer\src\bin\main.rs`)
+```rust
+    let mut d = 4;
+    while d == 4 { // set a breakpoint here and change the value
+        d = 4;
+    }
+```
