[roblourens]

P0

• Startup:
  • no "launch" support - Launch the Node process with correct args #2
  • no "restart" on attach - Reattach on process restart #3
  • early breakpoints on startup don't work because debugger does not break on entry by default - Implement --break-on-entry #5
  • Process lifecycle - Kill process when disconnecting #8, Poll for when process is killed externally or terminates, and disconnect #9
• Variables:
  • properties with getters not supported - Show getter property value vscode-chrome-debug-core#77
  • array sorting wrong (alphabetically instead of numerical) - array in debugger didn't display in right order vscode-chrome-debug-core#62
  • large arrays slow: no paging ('chunks')
    (needs adoption of VS Code variables paging) - Implement expanding large arrays by sub range vscode-chrome-debug-core#4
  • no Map support - Support ES6 data structure visualization vscode-chrome-debug-core#31
  • no Set support - Support ES6 data structure visualization vscode-chrome-debug-core#31
• Source Maps:
  • no inlined sources - Support inlined sources vscode-chrome-debug-core#85
  • no remote source maps
  • Resolve sourcemaps before scripts are loaded - Resolve sourcemaps before scripts are loaded, like the Node adapter vscode-chrome-debug-core#47
• Misc
  • no local/remote mapping for remote debugging - Support remote debugging using the same properties as vscode-node-debug vscode-chrome-debug-core#86
  • Don't hang on to the request when breakpoints don't bind - Add reasons for breakpoint bind failure vscode-chrome-debug-core#38

P1

• Variables
  • setting variable values - Add support for editing variables vscode-chrome-debug-core#58
  • Show generator state - Show generator state vscode-chrome-debug-core#32
  • Show Promise state - Show Promise state vscode-chrome-debug-core#33
• SourceMaps
  • Smart code stepping - Smart code stepping vscode-chrome-debug-core#34
• Misc
  • Support function breakpoints - Support function breakpoints vscode-chrome-debug-core#28
  • Support callstack paging - Support callstack paging vscode-chrome-debug-core#30
  • Show variable type on hover - Show variable type on hover vscode-chrome-debug-core#52
  • Add support for conditional breakpoints - Add support for conditional breakpoints vscode-chrome-debug-core#10
  • Minor refactoring to support some features - Minor refactoring to support some features vscode-chrome-debug-core#57

P2

• Startup
  • Support a UI picker of all available targets - Support a UI picker of all available targets vscode-chrome-debug-core#19
  • Support runInTerminalRequest - Use runInTerminalRequest #6

  • Stop using deprecated 'lines' prop on SetBreakpointsArguments from vscode-debugprotocol - Stop using deprecated 'lines' prop on SetBreakpointsArguments from vscode-debugprotocol vscode-chrome-debug-core#73

Engineering

• Get existing Node tests working against this debug adapter
• Do a pass for error messages and failure modes that are handled in node-debug but not here
• Launch error experience - Spawning Node with bad args - surface the actual error message #14
• Cleanup properly after running in server mode - Need to reinstantiate the adapter instance in server mode vscode-chrome-debug-core#95
• Switch to ES6 output - Get on TS2 with ES6 output vscode-chrome-debug-core#100
• List in the marketplace (as a built-in)
• Include in the code-insiders build

Later

• no extension host support - Attach to extension host #4
• Localization - Localization vscode-chrome-debug-core#37
