The wiki also contains documentation on new functionality added to the Debug Adapter Protocol to support Visual Studio scenarios, such as the ability to edit values in the “Watch” window, control the formatting of data and stack traces, and more. After following the walkthrough, you’ll be able to debug with Visual Studio Code’s “Mock Debug” adapter in Visual Studio: On the Debug Adapter Host wiki, you’ll find walkthroughs that demonstrate testing and packaging a debug adapter for use in Visual Studio. Samples and documentation for the Visual Studio Debug Adapter Host are available on GitHub. You will need to have Visual Studio 2017 version 15.6 installed. The Debug Adapter Protocol is JSON-based, and libraries for working with it are available in many languages, including Node.JS and C#/VB.Net.
An adapter can act as a bridge between the UI and a separate debugger (such as GDB or LLDB), or can be a debugger in and of itself (such as “vsdbg”, which supports CoreCLR debugging on Linux and macOS). What is a Debug Adapter?Ī debug adapter is a program that can communicate with a debugger UI using the Debug Adapter Protocol. If you’re considering implementing debugging support for a language or runtime, doing so via a debug adapter will allow you to reach both Visual Studio and Visual Studio Code customers without having to support two separate codebases. If you’ve previously written a debugging extension for Visual Studio Code, you can now use it in Visual Studio as well, generally with only minor modifications.
Now, in Visual Studio 2017 version 15.6, we’re excited to announce support for another Visual Studio Code extension component – the debug adapter. Visual Studio 2017 took the first steps towards participating in this ecosystem in November, with the release of the Language Server Protocol preview. Since its release, Visual Studio Code’s extension model, based on well-known web technologies such as TypeScript and JSON, has attracted a great deal of participation from the community, with hundreds of extensions published to provide support for exciting new languages and technologies.
