        1. Set the system environment variable “LUA_PATH = ./?.lua” in the SystemProperties, so that VSC finds required Lua scripts in the directory of this Lua script.
        2. “os.exit()” in Lua scripts is not processed properly in the “Run Without Debugging” execution mode. I.e. “os.exit(myfunction()” must be replaced by “myfunction()” in Lua script files.

  • ”.luacheckrc” ⇒ Core Documentation "Core API / Editor Extensions". Installation instructions: Extract the .luacheckrc file to your “C:\Users\<username>\Documents\My Games\Core\Saved\Maps” folder.
  • Proper setting in the VSC “settings.json” file:
    • Template:
      • “LuaCoderAssist.luacheck.execPath”: “PATH TO FOLDER WITH luacheck.exe FILE”.
      • “LuaCoderAssist.luaparse.luaversion”: 5.3.

     • GitHub "tomblind / local-lua-debugger-vscode".
     • For successful step-by-step debugging ( “Start Debugging” ), you must set a RED breakpoint at the first non-comment line - both on VSC/Linux and VSC/Windows -. The Lua debugger halts, you may then move further step-by-step .
     • Without a manual breaktpoint, the script is executed without debugging .

     • Depends on “Lua Debug” .
  3. VisualStudio Marketplace, actboy168 "Lua Debug".
     • GitHub "actboy168 / lua-debug".
     • Version 1.38.0 does not work in “Run Without Debugging” mode on VSC/Windows : No debug console output .
     • Version 1.38.0 does not work properly in “Start Debugging” mode on VSC/Windows : When Lua passes an “os.exit()” call, all debug console output is supressed, including the output of already passed print() messages .
     • Version 1.38.0 does not work at all on VSC/Linux : No debug console output .
• Proper setting in the VSC “settings.json” file:
  • My data for Windows “C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Code\User\settings.json”:
