Interface DebugAdapterDescriptorFactory

createDebugAdapterDescriptor

• createDebugAdapterDescriptor(session: DebugSession, executable: undefined | DebugAdapterExecutable): ProviderResult<DebugAdapterDescriptor>

• 'createDebugAdapterDescriptor' is called at the start of a debug session to provide details about the debug adapter to use. These details must be returned as objects of type DebugAdapterDescriptor. Currently two types of debug adapters are supported:

  • a debug adapter executable is specified as a command path and arguments (see DebugAdapterExecutable),
  • a debug adapter server reachable via a communication port (see DebugAdapterServer). If the method is not implemented the default behavior is this: createDebugAdapter(session: DebugSession, executable: DebugAdapterExecutable) { if (typeof session.configuration.debugServer === 'number') {

      return new DebugAdapterServer(session.configuration.debugServer);
    

    } return executable; }

  Parameters

  • session: DebugSession

    The debug session for which the debug adapter will be used.

  • executable: undefined | DebugAdapterExecutable

    The debug adapter's executable information as specified in the package.json (or undefined if no such information exists).

  Returns ProviderResult<DebugAdapterDescriptor>

  a debug adapter descriptor or undefined.
