How do i debug multiple instances?

[l-konrad]

it doesnt stop at the breakpoint when running 2 instances of the game, which i need for online testing

It's by design from VSCode, AFAIK. No debugger extensions I've seen supports more than 1 instances.

thats a shame

@atirut-w That's totally incorrect, VSCode absolutely supports multiple simultaneous debug sessions. Extensions also don't have to do anything special to support this, so I'm reasonably certain that almost all debugger extensions can do it.

As far as I can tell, this just works. Here's two instances, both stopped at a breakpoint:

mind sharing the launch json? This could be a great quality of life change for me

Got it. Put this in your godot project folder, {PROJECT ROOT}/.vscode/launch.json. Run it using run and debug menu.

I didn't do anything to my launch.json, I just launched a second session.
