Debugging

[AlexHedley]

What's the best way to debug the plugin?

Is it enough to add:

public static void Main(string[] args)
{
#if DEBUG
   System.Diagnostics.Debugger.Launch(); 
#endif
    
   // code
}

p.s. I'll add it to Docs

@csharpfritz is it possible to debug the Stream Deck Plugins with your toolkit? I am just using dotnet run and it installs fine, but not sure how to debug things.

@jamesmontemagno Yes, there is a hook in the startup of the plugin that will trigger the debugger if you pass a "-break" command-line argument:

Also:

cd %appdata%\Elgato\StreamDeck\Plugins\com.csharpfritz.samplePlugin.sdPlugin SamplePlugin.exe -break %*
