+### VSCode Test Runner Extension
+
+With the VSCode [Extension Pack for Java](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=vscjava.vscode-java-pack), you can get the Test Runner for Java and Gradle for Java extensions. This lets you easily run specific tests through the IDE:

+```
+
+To correctly run PhotonVision tests this way, you must [delegate the tests to Gradle](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/java/java-build#_delegate-tests-to-gradle). Debugging tests like this will [**not** currently](https://github.com/microsoft/build-server-for-gradle/issues/119) collect outputs.

 ### Debugging PhotonVision Running Locally
 
-One way is by running the program using gradle with the {code}`--debug-jvm` flag. Run the program with {code}`./gradlew run --debug-jvm`, and attach to it with VSCode by adding the following to {code}`launch.json`. Note args can be passed with {code}`--args="foobar"`.
+Unit tests can instead be debugged through the ``test`` Gradle task for a specific subproject in VSCode, found in the Gradle tab:

-PhotonVision can also be run using the gradle tasks plugin with {code}`"args": "--debug-jvm"` added to launch.json.
+However, this will run all tests in a subproject.
+
+Similarly, a local instance of PhotonVision can be debugged in the same way using the Gradle ``run`` task. In both cases, additional arguments can be specified:
