Is there a way to change value while debugging a Flutter App

Question

As in all languages Debugging is a core concept as we all need to do it:) I am trying to edit and set a value while running a Flutter App in debug Mode. However i could not find any place where i can edit the value and set it to test the effect of the change in the flow.

• In VS Code i have put breakpoints and run the app in the debug mode. Set watchpoints etc.. but could not find a way to edit a value?

İs this possible in flutter apps?

Solution

I don't think this is possible. In Visual Studio Code there would be a Set Value command on the context menu if you clicked on any variable which you can change, but it is not available when debugging a Flutter application. Even if you go to Debug Console when paused on a breakpoint, and assign a new value to a variable there, it is not reflected when you resume running your code.

Thanks Peter Thats a shame, this is such a useful thing while debugging. Theres dart developer tools with lots of features but no set value
