Beta test build with debug option.

I want to test a new feature in my watchApp on a real device (a Fenix5) using the Beta Test release option.

There used to be a build option in the project export process that offered the option to run in debug mode, but it's not there any more and the build command is defaulting with the -r compiler option.

Is there any way to suppress the -r option in a beta release?

[EDIT]

I can see a debug option in the "build for device" - but that is for a side load and in a side load, I don't get to test Settings changes, which is part of my test plan.

I have tried to suppress the -r option by editing the tasks.json, but it ignored my

"compilerOptions": [ "-w", "-y", {mydeveloperkey}" ],

Thanks. I don't this is that issue: as mentioned, I'm incrementing the version number on each iteration and displaying it in the UI and not seeing any incorrect behaviour in Garmin's beta release process which I'm doing via Garmin Express.

I'll tinker with it a bit longer before concluding it's a bug in the compiler.

Maybe it's not a bug, just undocumented and the export is always done in release mode?

Yeah, maybe, but it does raise a question about the effectiveness of the -r option in the monkeybrains compiler.

I asked my fav LLM what he/she knew about monkeybrains and was offered these interesting sites:

Anvil and Atredis. They're well above my paygrade, but may shed some light.

This just shows that either you don't know how to ask, or your favorite LLM is waaaaaay worse than ChatGPT or Gemini. Not that I'd expect anything useful from any of them regarding Monkey C. Tested them a month ago, and they'll hallucinating. In your case the results are irrelevant (not to talk about how outdated they are)
