Description

For example, setting a breakpoint in the middle of an aa declaration, like on line 3 here

1: aa = {
2:  val1: 1
3:  val2: 2
4: }

will not result in any IDE feedback; but compilation cryptically fails.

Research direction

No file, test, or entry point is named. Reproduce the shown breakpoint in VS Code, then locate the extension's breakpoint or diagnostic handling; done should be IDE feedback or prevention for breakpoints inside the aa declaration, without the cryptic compilation failure.
