Debugging In Neovim (ft BashBunni)

[@Aryevang]

Dude, this is the kind of video what I pay internet for.

[@nagkanya]

31:09 Yes! please make a video exploring the topic of windows and tabs. I always have a blast watching this series, and learn a bunch of cool stuff. Appreciate ya

[@Oswee]

Thank You booth for making this! I think every one should start with teaching debugging. So many hours wasted because of this... :) And yes please, make a video about the general navigation. That would be superb!

[@teej_dv]

I will add it to my list!! Thanks for the Thanks :)

[@OliNorwell]

TJ is an incredible teacher, I had this on a third screen but still managed to learn about 10 different things. Legend.

[@runtimejpp]

truth. don't see enough maintainers (not that they dont do enough already) putting out as many videos about their own projects like tj, it's so much more intuitive than reading the docs esp for a newb. appreciate this the most

[@demolazer]

100%. Very engaging and good at breaking things down

[@nicolhaidi]

I’ve learnt so much from this series it’s unbelievable. +1 on the idea of making a video about windows/tabs/buffers, as it’s sonething I still struggle with a lot. Thank you for everything.

[@Jscodin]

8:14ish - mind blown, never knew you could do that, such a cool tip

[@ChrisPatti]

this is the best video I’ve seen on debugging with neovim. thank you for making it!

[@granviaje]

the kickstart video & this. my life is complete now 😄

[@robonator2945]

100% there need to be more videos like this in the world where it's just teaching people about nvim, specifically because of things like 8:45 where they will off-hand mention a massive QoL improvement

[@byt3blitz]

Was banging my head on the wall for a while trying to figure out dap and dap-go. This video solved my initial problem but along the way I learned so much. I've spent 6 months in neovim and it's pretty wild to see all the bad habits I developed along the way lol from not taking the time to dive into the fundamentals. Amazing work!

[@leana8959]

This is at the same time wholesome, cool, and very informative. Thanks, BashBunni and TJ!

[@benarcher372]

So good, so much to learn. Merry Christmas 2023.

[@Oswee]

To run the quick command it the terminal you can use `Ctrl+z` which puts the process (Neovim) in the background. Then run your quick command. And then run the `fg` to bring back the last suspended process.

[@eliasgill2453]

thank you good sir. I always have problems remembering how to enter again in neovim before ctr+z 😂

[@hugohabicht6274]

Or just open a tmux pane

[@conradmbugua9098]

@@hugohabicht6274 on thing that annoys me with tmux is that I can't copy text from the tmux window to the browser

[@bait6571]

I just... open the shell in neovim

[@RootsterAnon]

I managed to setup my new Astro Vim with delve. What a ride. this will be bookmarked, thank you!

[@rafaelcolladojr]

The absolutely most useful neovim video I've ever watched. Thanks for all the gems!

[@Ellefsen97]

I've had a hard time setting up debugging with Dap and because of this video I now have a fully functional debugger for C. Thanks a lot

[@heftyfunseeker9987]

This is such a wonderful format. I learned some great stuff not even related to debugging. Thank you, Bash and TJ!

[@fam1u]

I installed nvim-dap a while ago but realized I didn't use it much because I wasn't happy with my config and ended up just resorting to using debugger on the terminal. This gave me the motivation to install nvim-dap again and actually try to configure it properly.

[@faraonch]

Best walk through so far!!!!! It helps so much that you do it bilaterally!

[@NiceMicroTV]

Debugging in Neovim?? Always something new to learn. Also, I peaked into that neovim setup, and... grammar checking also exists in neovim???? Wow.

[@AndyHuynh-p2s]

Well done TJ and Bash! Fantastic teacher and partner to learn from

[@jemag]

Thanks for the upload teej, really enjoying this series.

[@williambillemeyling5647]

Hey TJ. I have a suggestion for a video/stream. It would be really cool if you could teach me and others the inner workings of neovim. As in, what modules neovim consists of, how to navigate the neovim code base, maybe an example of solving a small and simple pull request. Best, William.

[@Zarazhas8]

8:54 🤯🤯🤯 whaaaat thats amazing. Also loving dem dabs from sudobunni

[@faustona559]

Thanks for the video! On moving back a buffer to its original window in a tab: I believe this is only necessary due to having used Ctrl-W T, which moves the buffer over to the new tab. If instead one were to use something like ":tabedit %" or ":tab split", then the buffer would be opened in a new window in a new tab, but the current one would be left untouched.

[@Don_XII]

These videos are great and informative. I am getting into neovim too. It would be great if there is screen key or anything similar so we can see keystrokes. There are few new things here that I did not know which can be found after some googling but just some input that it would be a great addition. :)

[@nickbanderson]

You are a sir and man a gentle. Telescope has expanded my brain. Now, time to find dank icons to ruin my focus while working.

[@vikingthedude]

The bash2basics playlist singlehandedly made me a neovimer

[@demolazer]

Great stuff. Legit the only thing Neovim needs to have everything. Also I accidently found out today that C-Space highlights word cursor is on and enters visual mode.

[@Alex-vz6nn]

This video is full of gems and tips beyond debugging. Thanks TJ and Bashbunny for the incredible content. Liked, subscribed and comment... done :)

[@ahmedschhaider4762]

Thank you, TJ & Bash Bunny, This is really cool !!

[@TheHTMLCode]

Super informative, was listening in whilst looking after the baby and had to backup a few times to pick up a few tips 😂 awesome stuff!

[@TheHTMLCode]

This was the only thing that would still make me reach for VS code 20% of the time.

[@tarasbiletskyi6301]

I just started wondering how do I debug in neovim, and boom, here's the video to substitute vimspector!

[@Titere05]

Learning vim is like being gifted a large set of expensive, top of the line tools, when you've been making do with a screwdriver, a hammer and a flimsy set of pliers to fix things around the house. I have to remind myself that I have these powerful tools now and that I shouldn't fall back to the old, tedious way of editing text

[@CZiNTrPT]

if you press C-f when in : command, it opens a list of command history which you can edit,copy,etc so bash doesn't have to retype stuff into file she already ran

[@arjunmahishi]

@8:37, you dont event have to type the ", {buffer=0}" part. You can just highlight it with +* or +# and type ":s///" By default, the pattern will be chosen based on the highlight :)

[@sethcenterbar]

This video and the lsp one have helped me fully move from vs code. Thanks!

[@xXPK26realXx]

This is the perfect format to learn.

[@tseitz]

This is incredible. Thank you both

[@d3javu1978]

Thank you! finally got mine setup the way i wanted it, thanks for the shortcut!

[@username-oz3uj]

followed along and managed to do everything you guys did right along with the video. love this but! bash didn't try setting a breakpoint outside of main(). when I tried to do that I couldn't get the debugger to run. "Failed to launch". wish you guys would have covered that :(

[@iangann9828]

You should definitely make the follow-up video on the differences between buffers, windows, and tabs in Vim!

[@eoinmcmahon1152]

Please do a video on buffer windows and tabs! Would be super useful

[@mariuskimmina]

This was cool, will I keep debugging with prints, tho? probably yes

[@stephaneislistening6103]

I have the key map Ctrl W to close a terminal window so I can't use it in Neovim and so I wonder if there is a lua command to expand the current buffer. Then I could add my own custom mapping on it.

[@stephaneislistening6103]

Big thank you ! I noticed that if my browser current tab is not one that shows the application, then the debugger will have trouble finding the source code, and it'll display the message: Breakpoint ignored because generated code not found (source map problem?) I wonder if I could have a callback handling that error event, so as to display my own message as well, say: Have you the app as the browser current tab ?

[@3ckortreat]

We need more videos with this 2

[@qsmfoui]

is there somewhere a guide on how to use this with c? like inspect the stack, heap and registers? i have a hard time finding something like this and i am not very good at understanding documentations but i try

[@JustVoylin]

Been trying to setup debugging in neovim for GDExtensions, keep getting wrong_path errors of my breakpoints inside of the C++ code

[@awabkhan2977]

How do you do that at 8:18

[@DFPercush]

Does nvim-dap support custom views of types, like .natvis files or something similar? Qt creator has its own way of doing it via Python scripts. Is there something similar in nvim?

[@zennmyst5347]

Could you do a video on how to debug using C/C++. I'm struggling to get it setup. It's the only thing I have left to do in my Neovim setup. But I'm so lost. I am new to Linux, Neovim and C.

[@stepansmirnov5876]

Remaps nnoremap lua require'dap'.continue() nnoremap lua require'dap'.step_over() nnoremap lua require'dap'.step_into() nnoremap lua require'dap'.step_out() nnoremap lua require'dap'.toggle_breakpoint()

[@jwickerszh]

Cool, I got dap setup as well, just need to set it up for JS node and browser and use it now.

[@leonardomaia7661]

can you with lldb debugger in dap set a conditional breakpoint like strlen(str) < 5?

[@darkenblade986]

great vid but how do you set it up so when you press f5 in any file type it opens its specific debugger. In the vid yall set it to specifically dap-go which is the go debugger. I want it to where it doesnt matter if im in python, rust, go or whatever to open that filetypes debugger.

[@korcakd2]

Hey, thank you for the tutorial, it helped me a lot. What do you think of running vim-go plugin alongside of this? Do you think there would be any conflicts?

[@Ruzveld83]

Is there a way to execute library functions in Watches tab? Seems like it doesn't have the same scope as the code being debugged. For example I couldn't call strlen while debugging C code though I had imported.

[@Ruzveld83]

Phew, I found out the solution: for the example in my comment this should work: "/nat (size_t) strlen("hello")". The /nat prefix declares a native expression which is aware of C environment. This may be specific to a DAP which in my case is codelldb.

[@Mawkler]

I was told there would be double synchronized dabs at the end

[@ypucandeleteit]

Really enjoyed teh video. where can I find convigs and keymaps for this?

[@SnowDaemon]

[@umlal]

I suggest a drinking game, a shot for every dab

[@brettholman3606]

TIL `

[@freeman42742]

Hey thanks for the video - One thing that confuses me is the use of .vim instead of .lua - Given the preference seems to be to use lua it would be cool to redo with that it mind

[@pedrolobo9835]

Thanks for this helpful video! =p

[@echobucket]

Someone should build a thing like Mason but for DAP stuff.. it's way too hard to setup right now.

[@RajinderYadav]

Please make a video on how to setup nvim to debug typescript code. I am trying to get angular setup for debugging and not makng any progressse, code browsing is find. This video is way to chatty for me and I found (for me) it didn't help. I've got a pretty good setup (for someone just entering nvim) except for debugging both js code and java, but for right now I am trying to focus on js.

[@bonchonmaru]

My soul hurt when all those dapui windows popped up, each with their own statusline D;

[@cprn.]

Who said it can't be done? Because I'm using `xdebug` in Vim for quite a few years now... (`vdebug` plugin) I'm here because I picked up more languages over the years and want to switch to DAP but failed with `vimspector` - glad to hear I'm not the only one 😂

[@justanaveragebalkan]

Coming from an Emacs user,. i know the girl is not the most competent person in the room so to say and it's mostly an office bunny, but if you need the tool creator to install a plugin, is it really that good?

52 minutes in, mimicking most of this, fully trusting in Teej cause I don't use Go so I haven't added dap-go and we haven't got to the bit where we can test it outside of go yet If this doesn't work first try I quit

[@uoweme5grand]

I didn't know the lady's name is bash until like half way through the video lol. I was getting really confused.

[@rsmith31416]

Not sure how practical running embedded debuggers would be since this feels cluttered, a bit finicky and slow (e.g. even adding a breakpoint takes a few seconds). It is probably a better idea to have a setup with tmux/screen and the usual terminal debugger.

[@Ace-gw4uk]

God. Neovim is so great, we just don't know about it.

[@maharjanlaxman]

How do you use debug terminal anyone?

Is DAP in nvim natively like LSP?
