LuaPanda is a VS Code extension providing Lua debugging and code tooling, including a debugger with breakpoints, coroutine and multi-target debugging, plus code completion, definition jump, formatting, and linting. It supports Lua 5.1-5.4 and frameworks like slua, xlua, and slua-unreal, requiring luasocket for the debugger.

Use cases

• debug lua scripts in vs code
• debug xlua or slua code in unity games
• set breakpoints and conditional breakpoints in lua
• debug lua coroutines
• debug lua on a real device or phone
• get lua code completion and definition jump in vs code
• attach debugger to a running lua process
• debug multiple lua processes at once

When to choose

• you develop games or apps embedding lua via slua, xlua, or slua-unreal
• you need a free lua debugger integrated into vs code
• you need on-device lua debugging over a socket connection
• you want lua linting, formatting, and completion alongside debugging

When to avoid

• your lua runtime lacks luasocket and you cannot add it
• you need debugging for luaJIT-specific features beyond 5.1 semantics
• you use an editor other than vs code
• you need a debugger with recent guaranteed maintenance for the newest vs code versions
