Atom-ide-ui: Does Nuclide Built-in Debugging get into Atom IDE ?

[danielalmeidagoncalves]

Would be great if Nuclide's Built-in Debugging would get into one of the next versions of Atom IDE, it this possible or is something it is not even in the roadmap?

[damieng]

Debugging is on the roadmap!

Sorry to reply to a closed issue, just curious, is there an ETA for this and how would it be implemented? Would it be language agnostic and provide drivers for different languages/debuggers? I'd like to see some improvements to php-debug and I'm wondering if it's worth starting contributing to it or if we'll get a more "official" atom-backed solution in the future that we'd migrate to later anyway?

@nsrosenqvist the most likely API for this would be the VS debug protocol (as an analog to the LSP, which is also from VSCode). This is the direction that we're taking for the Nuclide debugger, at least. (cc @mostafaeweda)

@hansonw thanks! Didn't know there was a debugger equivalent, I'll start looking into it!

I have noticed two commits ad369bfe01c2c28382e4cf2ebeff6c751f88c1cc and 67b0ecdbc6d88ca58b165aa8780057600e3a635a. Is this finally coming to atom-ide-ui? When is this planned to be published and how does a atom debugger plugin use it (documentation)? Can't wait for it 😁

[hansonw]

Yup @mostafaeweda is working on bringing this in. There will be more documentation about it once it stabilizes :P

[mostafaeweda]

It's coming!
More discussion will follow on #196

I just finished v1 of atom-ide-debugger as part of https://ide.atom.io/ with some debuggers initially supported:

• Node Debugger: https://atom.io/packages/atom-ide-debugger-node
• Python Debugger: https://atom.io/packages/atom-ide-debugger-python
• React Native Debugger: https://atom.io/packages/atom-ide-debugger-react-native
• C/C++ GDB Debugger: https://atom.io/packages/atom-ide-debugger-native-gdb
• OCaml Debugger: https://atom.io/packages/atom-ide-debugger-ocaml

There will be more debugger backends coming + third party debuggers can be easily integrated.
