Local debugging with VSCode

Steps outlining how to run MCAD locally from your IDE / debugger.

• Ensure you are authenticated to your Kubernetes/OpenShift Cluster.
• Copy the launch.json.template file and save it as launch.json in the .vscode folder in the root of your project. This can be done by running the following commands in the root of your project:

mkdir --parents .vscode
cp --interactive doc/usage/debugger/launch.json.template .vscode/launch.json

• In the launch.json file, update the args sections with the path to your kubeconfig.
• In VSCode on the activity bar click Run and Debug or CTRL + SHIFT + D to start a local debugging session of MCAD.

Optional

To set the desired log level set --v, <desired_logging_level> in the args sections of the launch.json file.
