**Tip!** If you receive an error stating that the app is not a valid Electron app, it probably means you didn't run `gulp watch` first.
### Debugging
Code has a multi-process architecture and your code is executed in different processes:
The **render** process runs the UI code inside the Shell window. To debug code running in the **renderer** process you can:

* Debug using VSCode:
* Install [Debugger for Chrome](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items/msjsdiag.debugger-for-chrome) extension
* Launch a development version of VS Code with `--remote-debugging-port=9222`
* Choose `Attach to VSCode` launch configuration from the launch dropdown and start debugging
* Debug using Chrome Developers Tools, use the `Developer: Toggle Developer Tools` command from the Command Palette in your development VS Code.
The **render** process runs the UI code inside the Shell window. To debug code running in the **renderer** you can either use VS Code or the Chrome Developer Tools.
The **extension host** process runs code implemented by a plugin. To debug extensions (including those packaged with code) which run in the **extension host** process, you can use VS Code itself. Switch to the Debug viewlet, choose the `Attach to Extension Host` configuration, and press `F5`.
#### Using VSCode
* Install the [Debugger for Chrome](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items/msjsdiag.debugger-for-chrome) extension. This extension will let you attach to and debug client side code running in Chrome.
* Launch the development version of Code with the following command line option:
``` bash
# OSX and Linux
./tools/run.sh --remote-debugging-port=9222
# Windows
tools\run --remote-debugging-port=9222
```
* Choose the `Attach to VSCode` launch configuration from the launch dropdown in the Debug viewlet and press `F5`.
#### Using the Chrome Developers Tools
* Run the `Developer: Toggle Developer Tools` command from the Command Palette in your development instance of Code to launch the Chrom tools.
The **extension host** process runs code implemented by a plugin. To debug extensions (including those packaged with Code) which run in the extension host process, you can use VS Code itself. Switch to the Debug viewlet, choose the `Attach to Extension Host` configuration, and press `F5`.
### Unit Testing
Press `SHIFT+CMD+T` (`CTRL+SHIFT+T` on Windows) to start the unit tests or run the tests directly from a terminal by running `mocha` from the `vscode` folder. The [/test README](test/README.md) has complete details on how to run and debug tests, as well as how to produce coverage reports.
