UI support for TimeTravel Debugging for Node #72

Closed aruneshchandra closed 8 years ago

aruneshchandra commented 8 years ago

Node-ChakraCore has been working on bringing TTD to Node.js developers with the idea to surface this feature using VSCode.

Hitting a breakpoint and stepping forward is a familiar experience, but TTD allows developers to step back after hitting the breakpoint. For this new UI affordance needs to be built in VSCode, for example a "StepBack" button on the debug bar. Ideally this new button could be conditional based on a capability detection of the underlying Node platform.

Adding this support in VSCode will help us bring this innovation to the node developers.

If it's useful at all, this was prototyped in https://github.com/roblourens/vscode/commits/stepback and https://github.com/roblourens/vscode-node-debug/commits/stepback

@isidorn I've added protocol support for this (and I will enable it in mock-debug). Please add UiI support for this.

Moved here https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/7652 since it is easier for me to track issues in our main vscode repo
