Which capabilities support delayed changes? #165

Closed actboy168 closed 6 years ago

actboy168 commented 6 years ago

I need to do a remote debugger, so the capabilities should be told me by the debugger at the remote.But I can only know where the remote debugger is after LaunchRequest or AttachRequest. However, LaunchRequest or AttachRequest can only be received after InitializeResponse is returned.

I tried CapabilitiesEvent, but supportSetSetVariable and supportsConditionalBreakpoints could not be changed. I just sent CapabilitiesEvent after InitializeResponse.

Is there any other way to deal with this problem?

You can send capabilities "later" as a Capabilities event. This was introduced in the February release. Please see https://code.visualstudio.com/updates/v1_21#_debug-adapter-protocol

What capabilities do you want to send later?

actboy168 commented 6 years ago

I tested supportSetSetVariable and supportsConditionalBreakpoints and both failed.

actboy168 commented 6 years ago

The order I send is InitializeResponse,CapabilitiesEvent,InitializedEvent. And they should be send at the same time.

You can send the CapabilitiesEvent at any time, but currently the VS Code implementation only honours the "supportsStepBack" capability. Please file an issue for the unsupported capabilities at https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues.
