nvim-dap VS vim-ultest

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.

Also, you can set up debugger integration with https://github.com/mfussenegger/nvim-dap .

You could use nvim-dap with nvim-dap-python.

I'd suggest starting with a Neovim distro that makes things work for you and as you get familiar you can transition to a more custom configuration as you see fit. If you want to do it by yourself then the most popular plugin for debugging in Neovim is nvim-dap and there is also an extension for Python to give you a more ready to go config instead of doing it yourself. You should read the docs of those 2 to see how you should customize accordingly your configuration.

(neovim only) nvim-dap

https://github.com/mfussenegger/nvim-dap + https://github.com/theHamsta/nvim-dap-virtual-text should be able to do it, I think?

If you want to debug types in TypeScript, you could use marilari88/twoslash-queries.nvim. If you would like to debug TypeScript/JavaScript code, then you need mfussenegger/nvim-dap, you could read this article: Debugging using DAP to understand how to set up it.

How about https://github.com/rcarriga/vim-ultest ?

I have one that's half working for ultest. I haven't bothered to get the colors right.

vim-test & vim-ultest (also essential for work)

Vim-UltestHelps to debug quickly and easily

But I haven't yet set up anything properly other than Debugpy. nvim-dap is very barebones, so I feel that the best way is to have an extra configuration plugin on top. Debugpy.nvim is a very specific frontend plugin, but there are also more general plugins like nvim-metals and vim-ultest which also offer integration with nvim-dap.

Love seeing my plugins in the wild! Just FYI for anyone reading vim-ultest has an integration with nvim-dap which allows you to write debugging configs for any language and debug tests. There are currently recipes for python and go but I'd love to see more added! https://github.com/rcarriga/vim-ultest/wiki/Debugging-Recipes

Another thing I use for tests is https://github.com/rcarriga/vim-ultest which allows running the test and seeing the output inside vim, which works quite nice once I have narrowed down the test file that has the failing test.
