Debug Kubernetes Operator-sdk v1.0.0 locally using Vscode

Wrote this some time ago debug-kubernetes-operator-sdk-locally-using-vscode but due to changes in the Operator-sdk it's not valid for version v1.0.0 and greater.

here are the Steps to get debug running with v1.0.0

• Go to Run\Add Configuration
• Select Go from environments
• Select Go Launch package

You should get the following launch.json

{ "version": "0.2.0", "configurations": [ { "name": "Launch Package", "type": "go", "request": "launch", "mode": "debug", "program": "${workspaceFolder}" } ] } 

• Add an env for WATCH_NAMESPACE in the configuration so it looks like

{ "version": "0.2.0", "configurations": [ { "name": "Launch Package", "type": "go", "request": "launch", "mode": "debug", "program": "${workspaceFolder}", "env": { "WATCH_NAMESPACE": "your-operator-namespace", } } ] } 

Debug should now work as expected

Thanks goes to Oleg Matskiv for sharing this with me.
