Start the debugger session
Starting a debugger session is very similar to running the program in normal mode. The debugger is attached behind the scenes, so you don't have to configure anything specific to start a debugger session. If you are able to run your program from RustRover, you will also be able to debug it using the same configuration.
Any debugger session is based on a run/debug configuration. The configuration type depends on the type of your application and the runtime environment.
