I am using VS Code on Windows, and would like to use standard

I am unable to do so, instead adding writeln to examine the
run time.
FWIW, author Adam Freeman prefers this approach, eschewing the
debugger.
But if I wanted to use the VSCode debugger, what configuration
steps to make it available and working?
It should be possible, because I'm using it.
The installed extensions in vscode includes: code-d, serve-d
Then `.vscode/launch.json` is like:
```
"configurations": [
{
"type": "code-d",
"request": "launch",
"dubBuild": true,
"name": "Build & Debug DUB project",
"cwd": "${command:dubWorkingDirectory}",
"program": "${command:dubTarget}"
},
]
```
Added .vscode/launch.json to root of project, sibling to source
dir.
But this didn't run.
Please provide a helloWorld project (zipped) or link to it, that
is set up for VS Code, so I may reproduce it.
I've installed these VS Code extensions:
1. D Programming Language (code-d) by WebFreak
2. D Language utility extension pack by WebFreak
3. Debug DLang for VSCode by Amarokice
Am running on Windows 11.
2.
