What's the easiest way to debug a dub app build?

Is there a better way than

    dub run

followed by

    gdb run PATH_TO_APP_BINARY

?

Correction should be

    dub build --build=unittest

or

    dub build --build=debug

followed by

    gdb PATH_TO_APP_BINARY

Does using an IDE count? Some D IDEs should be able to assist in debugging.

No, there's nothing specific with an application built using Dub. Dub doesn't provide any help with debugging. Just make sure you're debugging a debug build.
