- Introduction to using print-based debugging and debugger in Zig unit tests.
- Use of 'errdefer' to print debug information only when a test fails, avoiding output clutter.
- Challenges with running tests in the debugger due to binary locations and error handling.
- Combining 'errdefer' with '@breakpoint()' to break on errors during debugging.
- Use of conditional compilation to enable debugger breakpoints based on build options.
- Modification of 'build.zig' to include a 'debugger' flag for conditional breakpoints.
- Automation of debugger execution when the 'debugger' flag is enabled.
- Final setup allows running tests in the debugger with automatic breaks on errors.
