debug: Migrating from robotfw language server to robotcode

[Gthorsten65]

Hi,
last days I read that the robotframework-language server did not support robot-framework 7.
So I started to migrate to robotcode.

Most of the first migration steps were running without any problems.
I used a toml file to configure my projekt.
What I'm not getting to work is debugging the underlying python modules.

With the old Robotframework LS I'm able to step into the python code.
But with robotcode, that will not work.

I try to find some tutorials but nothing really helps.

Actually I'm unsing
VsCode 1.98.2
RobotCode 1.0.3
python debugger 2025.4.1

So has anyone an example for a toml oder a launch.json?

RobotCode does support debugging and stepping into python code. I think that this is part of the Pylance extension that it also installs as a dependency.

I'm not sure if Python Debugger as a extension collides, but if you turn on this toggle:

You should be able to step into python code, I just have RobotCode itself installed and that works for me. If it doesn't work with the Python Debugger extension, you can try and disable it, and see if it works then. It could be that Pylance and Python Debugger just don't like eachother.

Hope this helps!
