How to debug loco application using vscode or rustrover?

[yuequan1997]

It's not possible to debug directly with ide, but I believe it should be possible to debug through some kind of linkage

What do you mean by debug directly with ide? I use visual studio code, and a debugger works for me.
Can you elaborate more on what you expected to implement in loco?

[yuequan1997]

May I ask how you did the debugging, because I started the project the cargo loco start way and couldn't do it in vscode!

Here is how I do it with VSCode:
.vscode/tasks.json:

{
    "version": "2.0.0",
    "tasks": [
        {
            "label": "build_project",
            "type": "shell",
            "options": {
                "cwd": "${workspaceFolder}",
                "shell": {
                    "executable": "/bin/bash",
                    "args": [
                        "-c",
                        "-i"
                    ]
                }
            },
            "command": "cargo",
            "args": [
                "build"
            ]
        }
    ]
}

launch.json

{
    "version": "0.2.0",
    "configurations": [
        {
            "type": "lldb",
            "request": "launch",
            "name": "Debug executable 'lc_api_template-cli'",
            "program": "${workspaceFolder}/target/debug/${workspaceFolderBasename}-cli",
            "preLaunchTask": "build_project",
            "args": [
                "start",
                "-e",
                "development"
            ],
            "cwd": "${workspaceFolder}",
        }
    ]
}

My solution requires that your cargo package name is the same as the project basename
