How to start the debugger from Ruby? (Also: How to set a breakpoint in HAML?)

Hello,
Sorry if this is the wrong place to post a question, but I couldn't figure out how to set a breakpoint and start a debugging session directly from the Ruby process. I'm trying to set a breakpoint in a HAML file (a Rails view with the html.haml extension.) I couldn't click on a line in the sidebar, so I thought I would try to call - debugger, but this method is not registered.
Is there a Ruby method I can call that will pause execution and start a debugging session in VS Code? Thanks!

Looks like it's more a question to HAML support in vscode. Debugger can set such breakpoint, works in RubyMine for example for erb for sure and haml irr. Debugger was not designed for manual breakpoints setting.
Hi @hurricup, thanks for your reply!

Ahh I see, that makes sense. In that case I might move this discussion to the "Better HAML" extension and see if I can help them add support
