stdout is printed to console only when app exit #22

Closed vhenriet-sfy closed 4 years ago

vhenriet-sfy commented 4 years ago

When executing a simple app like:

while true do os.execute("sleep 1") print("foo") end Nothing is outputed to debug console.

When I kill the application, all printed string show in the console logs.

I'm using version 0.1.10 of the extension.

This example will now work correctly, but note that there are other cases where output will be delayed. This is due to how the debugger works: messages are embedded in the stdout stream and have to be extracted by the vscode extension. Printing open braces { will delay output appearing until a debugger message is sent (such as a breakpoint being hit, or the program exiting).
