I use the Microsoft plugin and it was working out of the box. 
There was no D specific setting to be done but as far as I 
remember just setting the executable file path in the debug json 
file.

The only thing you have to take care of: with older versions of 
Dub, the executable has OMF architecture, recent versions of dub 
defaults to COFF (64 bit). Out of the box debugging works only 
for COFF.

Kind regards
