You can use "dub generate visuald" to generate a project and solution for Visual D.

It will really be nice if visual D can come to visual Studio code.  It is a beautiful nice work. Pls can we have it in visual Studio code? Pls...

As soon as I use the Mago debugger, it's impossible to start a debugging session. Any idea how to track down such a problem?

Works for me, can you give more details? VS version, platform, etc.

Please note that there is no need to select the Mago debug engine in VS2013 or later. Since a couple of versions of Visual D, the VS debugger is equipped with an extension based on Mago that can evaluate D expressions.

- Windows-10, 64bit, running in a Parallels VM on OSX 10.13.5 - VS-2017 latest patch applied

Ok, so maybe the problem is related to changing the selection via the drop-down box in the project properties. If I use "Visual Studio" things work. If I switch to "Mango" things don't work.


WRT: D expressions. I saw that variables inside a foreach body, where an opApply is used, are not visible in the debugger. I get a "symbol not found" message. Not sure if this is bacause of the foreach body beging used as a delegate?
