No Variable Explorer when using Pyodide extension in github.dev. #10

Open dynamicwebpaige opened 2 years ago

dynamicwebpaige commented 2 years ago

Expected behavior: After defining variables in my github.dev instance with Pyodide, I expect those variables to be displayed in the Variable Explorer:

Observed behavior: No variables are displayed in the VS Code interface when using github.dev with the Pyodide extension:

That variable explorer is currently contributed by the Jupyter extension which is not web enabled and does not expose an API for other extensions to populate its variable explorer AFAIK. We could also implement our own...

Strong preference would be to wait for the Jupyter extension to become web-enabled (though am unsure of the ETA) or to have the team introduce such an API.

Populating the variable explorer feels like it might be a common need?

Yes, though fwiw Julia and R extensions for VS Code have their own variable explorer implementations at the moment, and I believe the Julia variable explorer is tree-based instead of grid-based. It would be great to see some common implementation in core VS Code.
