vsls-debug-type v1.0.1

Visual Studio Live Share Debug Type

This library provides a reliable way of retrieving the type of the active VS Code debug session, even when the end-user is using Visual Studio Live Share.

Getting Started

1. Install this module into your VS Code debug adapter extension by running the following command npm install -s vsls-debug-type

2. Import the vsls-debug-type module, which returns a function for retrieving the debug session type

3. Call this method anytime you need to retrieve the type for a DebugSession instance (e.g. within a handler for the vscode.debug.onDidStartDebugSession event)

// #1) Import this module
const vslsDebugType = require("vsls-debug-type");

vscode.debug.onDidStartDebugSession(session => {
    const type = await vslsDebugType(session);

    // Perform your custom logic
});

API Reference

The vsls-debug-type module returns a single function, which accepts a VS Code DebugSession instance, and returns a Promise<string> that resolves to the type (e.g. dart, node, cpp) of the debug adapter that is associated with the specified DebugSession.
