Be able to test an unreleased backend #101

Closed arosien closed 3 years ago

arosien commented 3 years ago

The extension currently looks for a locally installed backend with the same version, otherwise it tries to fetch it from GitHub to install locally. In either case, an unreleased backend can't be tested.

We should support something like a launch config property to have the extension connect to a locally-launched backend via some port.

(Incidentally, the config.debugServer = 4711 property is hardcoded in the extension in quite a few places, but is never used.)

Incidentally, the config.debugServer = 4711 property is hardcoded in the extension in quite a few places, but is never used.

Or is this a property that the internal VSCode DAP library uses?

Oh wait, what's this useExistingServer property in the extension....

Will add a note about useExistingServer to https://github.com/jw3/example-daffodil-vscode/wiki/Developers page.
