# Debugging vs Code plugin and the Language Server
Install [LLDB](https://lldb.llvm.org/) and the [LLDB Extension](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=vadimcn.vscode-lldb).
Checkout rust rust-analyzer and open it in vscode.
```
$ git clone https://github.com/rust-analyzer/rust-analyzer.git --depth 1
$ cd rust-analyzer
$ code .
```
- To attach to the `lsp server` in linux you'll have to run:
`echo 0 | sudo tee /proc/sys/kernel/yama/ptrace_scope`
This enables ptrace on non forked processes
- Ensure the dependencies for the extension are installed, run the `npm: install - editors/code` task in vscode.
- Launch the `Debug Extension`, this will build the extension and the `lsp server`.
- A new instance of vscode with `[Extension Development Host]` in the title.
Don't worry about disabling `rls` all other extensions will be disabled but this one.
- In the new vscode instance open a rust project, and navigate to a rust file
- In the original vscode start an additional debug session (the three periods in the launch) and select `Debug Lsp Server`.
- A list of running processes should appear select the `ra_lsp_server` from this repo.
- Navigate to `crates/ra_lsp_server/src/main_loop.rs` and add a breakpoint to the `on_task` function.
- Go back to the `[Extension Development Host]` instance and hover over a rust variable and your breakpoint should hit.
## Demo

## Troubleshooting
### Can't find the `ra_lsp_server` process
It could be a case of just jumping the gun.
The `ra_lsp_server` is only started once the `onLanguage:rust` activation.
Make sure you open a rust file in the `[Extension Development Host]` and try again.
### Can't connect to `ra_lsp_server`
Make sure you have run `echo 0 | sudo tee /proc/sys/kernel/yama/ptrace_scope`.
By default this should reset back to 1 everytime you log in.
### Breakpoints are never being hit
Check your version of `lldb` if it's version 6 and lower use the `classic` adapter type.
It's `lldb.adapterType` in settings file.
If you're running `lldb` version 7 change the lldb adapter type to `bundled` or `native`.
