Using the Sample Debug Adapter with VS Code #14

Closed Elias-Johansson closed 5 years ago

Elias-Johansson commented 5 years ago

Hello,

could you clarify whether it is possible to use the Sample Debug Adapter with VS Code instead of VS? Please share your tips on writing the corresponding VS Code extension if it is possible.

-- Thanks Elias.

Hi, Elias

As far as I know, nobody has tried it, but I can't think of any reason it wouldn't work. You'd need to install Mono or something if you're planning on doing this on a non-Windows platform. The C++ extension for VS Code uses a debug adapter based on this same framework - you can find the extension source here: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-cpptools/tree/master/Extension and the debug adapter source here: https://github.com/microsoft/MIEngine/tree/master/src/OpenDebugAD7

Thanks

Andrew

Hi Andrew,

I'm planning to do this on a Windows platform. As far as I understand, the VS Code extension should mimic the Engine Launcher to communicate with SampleDebugAdapter.exe.

Thanks. I'll try to figure it out.
