Debug on debug console

[ECEAthipanbose]

When debugging Scala code, i need to receive input from the user via the debug console, when step over the (val name = StdIn.readLine()) code , i can't directly interact with the debug console to provide input and debugger not move remaining line

That's a limitation of debug console in VS Code. You would need to attach to a running process instead with the additional debug flags.

but when i debug my scala program the debugger not step over the remianing code when it reach the code line(like val name = StdIn.readLine())
eg:-
object Sample {
def main(args: Array[String]) = {
var s = new Student() // Creating an object
println(s.id + " " + s.name);
// Prompt the user for input
print("Enter your name: ")
// Read input from the user
val name = StdIn.readLine()
// Display the input
println(s"Hello, $name! Welcome to Scala programming.")
}
}
example when i debug the above code it work fine and reach the code val name = StdIn.readLine() now i step over the debugger but it not move the code to
println(s"Hello, $name! Welcome to Scala programming.")

Most likely it doesn't move, because the program doesn't get any input. Which is why you would need to start the program separately and then attach to it. There is separate template for attaching with Metals if you write scala... in .vscode/launch.json

thak you tgodzik !

there is any doc available for explain the concept( how start the program separately and then attach to it.
)?
