[Feature Request]: Ability to programmatically set the DAP communication port.

[dansomething]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I'd like to be able to take the communication port number result of the vscode.java.startDebugSession command and pass it to vimspector when starting it.

#3 (comment)

Describe the solution you'd like
I think what I'm looking for is a function in the vimspector public API which takes the DAP communication port as an argument. It would be callable from viml.

Describe alternatives you've considered
I haven't considered any alternatives though I'm open to anything to streamline the process of using a random DAP communication port and getting that information seamlessly passed to vimspector.

Additional context
See this ticket #3 (comment) for additional context.

Looking at it, it's possible without code changes:

• In the adapter config, change "port": "ask" to "port": "${AdapterPort}"
• :call vimspector#LaunchWithSettings( { "AdapterPort": the_port } )

A quick test suggests that works.

[puremourning]

I admit, of course, that vimspector#LaunchWithSettings is entirely undocumented.

For the record, it accepts a dictionary mapping variables to values.

There's also a special key configuration which can be used to launch with a specific debug configuration, e.g. call vimspector#LaunchWithSettings( #{ configuration: 'Java Launch' } ) will skip asking you which debug config to use and use that one. I use this for running tests under the debugger and within the vimspector tests

[dansomething]

Ok, I'll give it a shot. In the long term would you prefer vimspector#LaunchWithSettings not be treated as a public api?

[puremourning]

Oh it should be public/documented. That’s why I’m leaving this open.

[dansomething]

I've confirmed it works exactly as described.
