debugger support for dx

[jkelleyrtp]

Powered by the same tooling from http://github.com/jkelleyrtp/cargo-debugger

Lets you open the current app in vscode's debugger by pressing d.

todo:

• web (requires vscode extension)
• desktop
• server (shift + d)
• ios
• android

We should allow configuration of the debugger at some point since people seem to use gdb, dap, etc, but for now this works well with our vscode-oriented workflow.

Awesome! As a side, what tool did you use to record that video? 😄

Does this work inside a dev container? - jkelleyrtp/cargo-debugger#2 . Might be worth testing with https://github.com/DioxusLabs/dioxus/tree/main/.devcontainer if not already done

Unfortunately no, since we call code --open-url "link" to get code-lldb to open the debugger.

To add web support, I had to add an extra handler to our vscode extension, so in theory, the two could work together, but I wouldn't even know where to start to get it working.

That's unfortunate, we do all our coding inside dev containers.

I've never made a vscode extension myself, so I don't know either. But this would definitely be appreciated if you go this route.
