This extension lets you visually debug arrays alongside the variables that point to their indices.
Currently, it only works well with Python.
-
Start a debug session.
-
Open the command palette and run
Array Index Visual Debugger: Open Panel. -
Enter the name of the array and select whether it's 1D or 2D.
-
Enter the index variables you want to visualize. In 2D mode, you’ll need to specify whether each variable represents a row or a column index. (Note: The values you enter here are evaluated as expressions in the debugged program. If you enter an expression with side effects, those side effects will occur in the debuggee.)
-
Step through your code (using the VS Code debug controls) — the panel will automatically highlight the positions in the array corresponding to the specified index variables.
-
(Optional) In 2D mode, you can highlight specific cells by specifying combinations of row and column index variables.
