Expected behaviour

As described in the release notes, a "View in Data Viewer" option should appear when right clicking on a pandas dataframe.

Actual behaviour

No option is available:

I'm on a February 2021 release, so I'm at a loss as to why this functionality doesn't appear

Steps to reproduce:

Launch Python File debugger on the following example, with a breakpoint on the last line:

import pandas as pd

df = pd.DataFrame(
    {
        "test1": [1, 2, 3],
        "test2": [4, 5, 6],
    }
)

print(df.head())

Hi @smurpau, the data viewer debugger integration is available as an experiment. Are you opted out of all experiments in your settings.json? If so that would explain why you aren't seeing 'View Value in Data Viewer' in the debug context menu.

If you add the following setting to your user settings.json and reload VS Code for the new setting to take effect, does the data viewer option appear?

"python.experiments.optInto": ["debuggerDataViewer"],

Hi @joyceerhl, yes indeed, I forgot I opted out of all experiments due to a pythonPath/condaPath issue as I recall. The data viewer works great now, thanks.

I cant see the DataViewer in the context menu on variables containing geodataframes (geopandas). Normal dataframes from pandas are working without problems. Any ideas what could be the reason for this?

VSCode and all the pyhton modules are at the latest version.

That's because the data viewer doesn't support geodataframes right now. Feel free to file an issue on us at https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-jupyter. Alternatively, if you'd like to send us a PR, this comment describes how you could implement support for geodataframes.
