Integrate with rcarriga/nvim-dap-ui repl window?

[zach-wahrer]

I'm really loving jester, so a huge thanks for all the work you've put into it. :-)

Basically, what I'd like to do is put jester's terminal output into the nvim-dap-ui repl window. All the other debug windows from the dap-ui work perfectly (stacks, breakpoints, scopes) with Jester, but the repl window stays blank. I've tried to figure out how to pipe the terminal output from jester into that window (running lua require"jester".debug({ terminal_cmd =}) with lots of different options, but none seem to work.

Any direction on how this might be possible? I can definitely rearrange the jester terminal window to fit the layout, but that cuts into the flow of coding, so I'd like to find an automated solution. Thanks again!

Hi @zach-wahrer ,

Thanks a lot for this positive feedback, highly appreciated!

That's an interesting idea. The moment you debug something, I only start nvim-dap and don't have any control what's being done exactly, maybe there are some settings in nvim-dap?

Best regards, David

Thanks for the response, @David-Kunz! I tried playing around with the dap settings (with and without jester as an intermediary), and it still pops up in the separate terminal and not in the dap-ui repl. So I think as you noted, this issue is upstream. Thanks for pointing me in that direction. :-)

And I also just saw this: https://github.com/rcarriga/nvim-dap-ui/issues/88 , so perhaps this is actually something that is going to be added to nvim-dap-ui. :-)

Perfect, thanks for the info! Let's see if they implement that feature.

If I'm not mistaken this is controlled via the console option. If it's not set to integratedTerminal I think it would default to write the output to the repl

Thanks for jumping in, @mfussenegger !

Thanks, @mfussenegger for pointing this out! Such an easy fix, now. :-) This worked perfectly for me:

vim.api.nvim_set_keymap(
    "n",
    "<leader>dj",
    "<cmd>lua require('jester').debug({dap = { console = ''}})<CR>",
    { noremap = true }
)
