How to make mojolicious run on the debugger

[dblanch]

I can't put breakpoints visually. At the begining yes, it works, but latter it does not. I'm able to stop / add breakpoints using $DB::single = 1;
from there I can use the debugger.

Here is my configuration:

    {
        "type": "perl",
        "request": "launch",
        "name": "Mojolicious",
        "program": "${workspaceRoot}/script/xmedia_lite.pl",
        "exec": "perl",
        "execArgs": [],
        "root": "${workspaceRoot}/",
        "inc": [],
        "args": ["daemon"],
        "env": {},
        "stopOnEntry": true,
    },

@dblanch ok - so can I conclude that we just need to exec $DB::single = 1 on startup?

We already do that at:

vscode-perl-debug/src/adapter.ts

Line 837 in 8778e42

await this.streamCatcher.request('$DB::single = 1;');

not sure why that isn't working
