[ISSUE] SOS Debugging Tinker on Argon (MacOS). vscode/Particle workbench

Developer Tools Particle Workbench
,
2

hey there :wave:

sorry for the bumps :pray: i'm not sure what's up - i know it's not super-comforting but fwiw i just walked through the tutorial in the docs and it's working as expected. i'm able to break in the divHandler() fn and step-over all lines without issue. i set a watch for the result variable and see it's value update in the watch panel at the far-left.

I am running a brand new Argon with a brand new Series 3 debugger

by "Series 3 debugger" i assume you mean the new Particle Debugger hardware?

couple things you can try:

  1. clean all the things - run the Particle: Clean application for debug (local) and the Particle: Clean application & DeviceOS (local) tasks (docs)
  2. delete the ./target directory in your project
  3. confirm your project is set to use argon and deviceOS@1.4.0 (see screenshot below)
  4. within the tinker app's setup() fn, add Mesh.off(); as the first line and save
  5. make sure both the Argon and Particle Debugger hw are plugged in via USB (each should have its own connection) w/ the debugger's jtag cable properly connected to the Argon
  6. in the debug configuration drop-down, select Particle Debugger (argon, boron / bsom, xenon) and click the green "start debugging" button
  7. once your device is flashed, you'll see the debug toolbar in the "paused" state - click the blue "continue" button to proceed
  8. try to reproduce your error

here's where you can update your project settings:

...and here are the VSCode docs for debugging.

if the issue persists, please share more info about your environment and setup as described over here:

hope it helps!
