# Debug CMake project files

With the Qt Creator implementation of the Debug Adapter Protocol (DAP), you can debug CMake project files.

Note: You need CMake 3.27 or later for DAP.

To debug CMake project files:

1. In the Edit mode, set breakpoints in a CMake file.
2. Select Debug > Start Debugging > Start CMake Debugging.

When the application stops at a breakpoint, you can examine data in the Debug mode views.
