Debugging in the AL Development Environment


As already mentioned, debugging can also be done with the Modern Development Environment composed of Visual Studio Code and Microsoft AL Language Extension. Working with .al files and with the Visual Studio Code environment, debugging can be done differently than in a Microsoft Dynamics NAV development environment.

Debugging in Visual Studio Code
