Dynamics 365 Business Central: Debugging Upgrade and Install code in Visual Studio Code

Hi, readers.
If you have checked the Changelog of AL Language, you could find the following update.

Debugging Upgrade and Install code

It is now possible to debug upgrade and install codeunits. A new command “Publish extension without building” has been introduced that will allow for apps to be published while debugging. To debug upgrade or install code, first initiate an attach debug session. After the debugger has attached, invoke the new command or use Ctrl+F5 to publish the app file. If the version of the app has not been incremented, install codeunits will be invoked. If the version of the app has been incremented, or the forceUpgrade flag has been set to true in the launch.json file, upgrade codeunits will be invoked.
