About ZigBrains
Adds support for the Zig Language, utilizing the ZLS language server for advanced coding assistance.
Before you can properly use the plugin, you need to select or download the Zig toolchain and language server in Settings -> Languages & Frameworks -> Zig.
Debugging
Debugger settings are available in the Settings | Build, Execution, Deployment | Debugger menu, under the Zig section.
IDE Compatibility
Debugging Zig code is supported in any native debugging capable IDE. The following have been verified to work so far:
• CLion • IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate • RustRover (including the non-commercial free version too) • GoLand • PyCharm Professional • Android Studio
Additionally, in CLion, the plugin uses the C++ Toolchains for sourcing the debugger (this can be toggled off in the settings).
The open-source Community edition IDEs don't have the native debugging code as it's a proprietary module, so you cannot debug zig code with them. You can still use those IDEs to develop code and use everything else the plugin has to offer.
