nvim-dap

You can do debugging in a console-based text editor nowadays. Neovim has a DAP client for example. https://github.com/mfussenegger/nvim-dap. Works reasonably well for quick debugging even if you don't get all the bells and whistles of a sophisticated IDE. Though folks have made IDE-like debugging UI's too: https://github.com/rcarriga/nvim-dap-ui

I've been rocking dual Pycharm w/ Vim bindings plus a neovim setup and bounce between. The only thing preventing me from going 100% neovim is Pycharm's python debugger. I have setup neovim-dap[0] with all the related plugins, it works for simple script but it bugs out and crashes when running our Flask web app. I rely heavily on the Pycharm debugger to step through our app. Have you had a good experience with setting up a debugger in vim/neovim or is that not part of your workflow? 0: https://github.com/mfussenegger/nvim-dap

It's a bit silly to claim that any debugger comes with zero performance "overheads". And somehow they failed to think of any drawbacks for the debugger they ship in their paid software... I use nvim-dap with nvim-dap-ruby; it's excellent. Every benefit the post ascribes to RM's debugger applies to nvim-dap (modulo the user's ability to do basic neovim customization), with the added points that: - nvim-dap is protocol-based, so you can use the same configuration with many languages - it's completely free https://github.com/mfussenegger/nvim-dap https://github.com/suketa/nvim-dap-ruby

There are DAP extensions for both Vim (e.g. https://github.com/puremourning/vimspector) and NeoVim (https://github.com/mfussenegger/nvim-dap). I can't speak as to the experience in detail (I think I briefly played with nvim-dap a year or two ago), but I suspect that for most it will be good enough.

>and still not satisfied with the results One can never be satisfied with the results. "There is no endgame", right? 1-2 hours is more than enough to get to work with autocompletion, syntax, filesystem explorer and a few more plugins for your convenience. >coming from another IDE and trying to replicate something This. Some people try to replicate IDEA or something like that. Obviously you can spend weeks trying to do this Hell, configuring https://github.com/mfussenegger/nvim-dap + https://github.com/rcarriga/nvim-dap-ui can take a week alone I guess.

Yes, Neovim natively supports LSP (Which, interestingly we have thanks to VSCode. It binds to the same thing that VSCode binds to. So you have feature parity). [0] And anything related to debugging, we have nvim-dap. (Which AGAIN we have the DAP (Debug Adapter Protocol) thanks to VSCode) [1] [0] - https://neovim.io/doc/user/lsp.html [1] - https://github.com/mfussenegger/nvim-dap

I use nvim-dap[1] in combination with jester[2] (by me) to run and debug Jest tests in my project, it works perfectly. [1]: https://github.com/mfussenegger/nvim-dap [2]: https://github.com/David-Kunz/jester

nvim-dap is what’s being used the most. https://github.com/mfussenegger/nvim-dap

I don’t use debuggers myself, but I think they’re pretty well supported within vim (neovim at least) these days https://github.com/mfussenegger/nvim-dap

I've been using the neovim plugin nvim-dap [0] together with nvim-jdtls [1] to get Java hot reload to work. It works without problems. Also, @mfussenegger@github is a quite nice dev, helped me personally to fix some isssues I had while setting it up.
