Debug Inline Values: Works in VSCode but not Cursor?

Bug Reports
1

In VSCode using Debugger shows values of variables in source code, at runtime.

Is there a way to do this in Cursor?

Other than that Cursor is marvelous! Keep up the great work!

Cursor doesn’t have a built-in debugger like VSCode yet, but since we’re built on VSCode you should be able to use VSCode debugging extensions. Any extensions you have installed in VSCode can be installed in Cursor, which should get the variables to show as they do in VSCode.

If you are having any issues, confirm the Debug: Inline Values is enabled correctly.

And thanks for the kind words! Really glad you’re enjoying Cursor

Yes it is enabled. Debug: Inline Values is enabled.
I am using the same debugging extension as VSCode.

4

What language are you debugging? This might help narrow down what’s going on since different languages have different debugging support in Cursor

5

Python

For Python debugging, you’ll want to make sure you have the Python extension installed in Cursor and that your launch.json is set up correctly. The debugger should work similarly to VSCode since we use the same extension system

If you’ve confirmed both the extension and launch.json are good, try removing and reinstalling the Python extension - sometimes that can fix weird debugging issues

I have the same issue! Ive installed all Python related extensions including Python debugger, pylance and etc.
