hey guys,

i just started using LDT, cant figure out why debugger not working.
i write simplest 2 line program, create breakpoint, click Debug As -> Lua application

it outputs this to console:
Debugger v1.4.2
Debugger: Trying to connect to 127.0.0.1:10000 ...
Debugger: Connection succeed.

then throws error "Debugging Engine takes too long to initialize" and exits

PS: i did it allow it through Windows Firewall when it popped up the message the first time

I too have the exact same issue, it's quite frustrating as I can't see what I'm doing wrong. I was wondering if it needed any inbound rules but seeing as it's all on 127.0.0.1 I thought it unlikely.

Me too. I'm trying to do a local debug on a file in src/main.lua and one in tests/mainTest.lua. Not sure why it's tying to reach out to 127.0.0.1:10000
