Debug

In Data it is possible to debug RPGLE code via a specific VSCode extension called Jardis. RPGLE Debugger is available via development evironment.

Configure Jardis (Only for new installation)​

Go to development environment, then press Ctrl+Shift+P and type Jardis:Configuration.

Jardis requires the settings of these mandatory params:

  • Jardis: User - The user name used for the authentication
  • Jardis: Host - Where kokos are running
  • Jardis: Env - Your working environment

After that, you need to restart VSCode (or reload your browser in case of remote development), click on a RPGLE program. If everything is correct, VSCode will notify you through a dialog that will show a message like this: "Jardis connected".

Debug in attach mode​

When you are going to attach a breakpoint to the program, Jardis will prompt you a dialog in order to set your session id. Take in account that, while in remote development you should use Kokos session_id (type STRDBG on search bar to get this information) in order to not block the debug sessions of your co-workers, in local development (for instance in playground mode) you can move on without worries.
