Can't debug io function in lua? #6

Closed DFVSQY closed 5 years ago

DFVSQY commented 5 years ago

Like below, it can't pause at io.write(content) line: gif

Test Code:

local filePath = "./res/test.txt"
local content = "file edit selection view goto debug terminal help\n"

local oldOut = io.output()
io.output(filePath)
io.write(content)
io.output(oldOut)

local oldIn = io.input()
io.input(filePath)
local text = io.read("*a")
print(text)
io.input(oldIn)

Currently, the debugger uses stdin and stdout to communicate with the vscode plugin. Redirecting stdout with io.output breaks the communication.

If remote debugging is addded in the future (see #2), then debugging scripts which need to use stdin and stdout will be possible. But for now, this won't work.
