   SwiftUI experts: How do you debug a feature that uses SwiftUI?

   In UIKit I print the current view controller and with lldb I can manipulate the views to figure out what the problem is. This seems not to work in SwiftUI. How do you find the line of code that is problematic to fix an issue?

   #swiftui #uikit #ios #xcode

     @dasdom @ctietze @alexsteinerde Especially the visual debugger is useless. Unimaginable that they did not improve it for SwiftUI.

     @dasdom @alexsteinerde ... then commenting-out code and praying it does something also doesn't count?

     @ctietze @alexsteinerde Are you serious? SwiftUI is really not debugable?

     @alexsteinerde This is not debugging. This is messing around. ;)

     @ctietze @dasdom @alexsteinerde Not related. I’m coding also a lot of Go and Python and I like something more that does not pull up a virtual machine to render some glyphs.

     @obrhoff @dasdom @alexsteinerde I see why you want to switch to Zed (eventually) now that all tools are equally bad at debugging :)
