Debug Adapter Protocol |
The Debug Adapter Protocol defines the protocol used between an editor or IDE and a debugger or runtime.
A machine-readable JSON schema can be found here.
The change history of the specification lives here.
Base class of requests, responses, and events.
interface ProtocolMessage {
/**
* Sequence number of the message (also known as message ID). The `seq` for
* the first message sent by a client or debug adapter is 1, and for each
* subsequent message is 1 greater than the previous message sent by that
* actor. `seq` can be used to order requests, responses, and events, and to
* associate requests with their corresponding responses. For protocol
* messages of type `request` the sequence number can be used to cancel the
* request.
*/

};
}The cancel request is used by the client in two situations:
- to indicate that it is no longer interested in the result produced by a specific request issued earlier
- to cancel a progress sequence.
Clients should only call this request if the corresponding capability supportsCancelRequest is true.
This request has a hint characteristic: a debug adapter can only be expected to make a 'best effort' in honoring this request but there are no guarantees.
The cancel request may return an error if it could not cancel an operation but a client should refrain from presenting this error to end users.
The request that got cancelled still needs to send a response back. This can either be a normal result (success attribute true) or an error response (success attribute false and the message set to cancelled).
Returning partial results from a cancelled request is possible but please note that a client has no generic way for detecting that a response is partial or not.
The progress that got cancelled still needs to send a progressEnd event back.
A client should not assume that progress just got cancelled after sending the cancel request.
interface CancelRequest extends Request {
command: 'cancel';
arguments?: CancelArguments;
}Arguments for cancel request.
interface CancelArguments {
/**

* progress is cancelled.

*/
progressId?: string;
}Response to cancel request. This is just an acknowledgement, so no body field is required.
interface CancelResponse extends Response {
}This event indicates that the debug adapter is ready to accept configuration requests (e.g. setBreakpoints, setExceptionBreakpoints).
A debug adapter is expected to send this event when it is ready to accept configuration requests (but not before the initialize request has finished).
The sequence of events/requests is as follows:
- adapters sends
initializedevent (after theinitializerequest has returned) - client sends zero or more
setBreakpointsrequests - client sends one
setFunctionBreakpointsrequest (if corresponding capabilitysupportsFunctionBreakpointsis true) - client sends a
setExceptionBreakpointsrequest if one or moreexceptionBreakpointFiltershave been defined (or ifsupportsConfigurationDoneRequestis not true) - client sends other future configuration requests
- client sends one
configurationDonerequest to indicate the end of the configuration.
interface InitializedEvent extends Event {
event: 'initialized';
}The event indicates that the execution of the debuggee has stopped due to some condition.
This can be caused by a breakpoint previously set, a stepping request has completed, by executing a debugger statement etc.

*/
hitBreakpointIds?: number[];
};
}The event indicates that the execution of the debuggee has continued.
Please note: a debug adapter is not expected to send this event in response to a request that implies that execution continues, e.g. launch or continue.
It is only necessary to send a continued event if there was no previous request that implied this.

/**
* The size of a pointer or address for this process, in bits. This value
* may be used by clients when formatting addresses for display.
*/
pointerSize?: number;
};
}The event indicates that one or more capabilities have changed.
Since the capabilities are dependent on the client and its UI, it might not be possible to change that at random times (or too late).
Consequently this event has a hint characteristic: a client can only be expected to make a 'best effort' in honoring individual capabilities but there are no guarantees.
Only changed capabilities need to be included, all other capabilities keep their values.
interface CapabilitiesEvent extends Event {
event: 'capabilities';
body: {
/**
* The set of updated capabilities.
*/
capabilities: Capabilities;
};
}The event signals that a long running operation is about to start and provides additional information for the client to set up a corresponding progress and cancellation UI.
The client is free to delay the showing of the UI in order to reduce flicker.
This event should only be sent if the corresponding capability supportsProgressReporting is true.
interface ProgressStartEvent extends Event {
event: 'progressStart';
body: {
/**
* An ID that can be used in subsequent `progressUpdate` and `progressEnd`
* events to make them refer to the same progress reporting.

*/
message?: string;
/**
* Progress percentage to display (value range: 0 to 100). If omitted no
* percentage is shown.
*/
percentage?: number;
};
}The event signals that the progress reporting needs to be updated with a new message and/or percentage.
The client does not have to update the UI immediately, but the clients needs to keep track of the message and/or percentage values.
This event should only be sent if the corresponding capability supportsProgressReporting is true.
interface ProgressUpdateEvent extends Event {
event: 'progressUpdate';
body: {
/**
* The ID that was introduced in the initial `progressStart` event.
*/
progressId: string;
/**
* More detailed progress message. If omitted, the previous message (if any)
* is used.
*/
message?: string;
/**
* Progress percentage to display (value range: 0 to 100). If omitted no
* percentage is shown.
*/

This event should only be sent if the corresponding capability supportsProgressReporting is true.
interface ProgressEndEvent extends Event {
event: 'progressEnd';
body: {
/**
* The ID that was introduced in the initial `ProgressStartEvent`.
*/
progressId: string;
/**
* More detailed progress message. If omitted, the previous message (if any)
* is used.
*/
message?: string;
};
}This event signals that some state in the debug adapter has changed and requires that the client needs to re-render the data snapshot previously requested.
Debug adapters do not have to emit this event for runtime changes like stopped or thread events because in that case the client refetches the new state anyway. But the event can be used for example to refresh the UI after rendering formatting has changed in the debug adapter.
This event should only be sent if the corresponding capability supportsInvalidatedEvent is true.
interface InvalidatedEvent extends Event {
event: 'invalidated';
body: {
/**
* Set of logical areas that got invalidated. This property has a hint
* characteristic: a client can only be expected to make a 'best effort' in
* honoring the areas but there are no guarantees. If this property is
* missing, empty, or if values are not understood, the client should assume
* a single value `all`.
*/
areas?: InvalidatedAreas[];
/**
* If specified, the client only needs to refetch data related to this
* thread.
*/
threadId?: number;
/**
* If specified, the client only needs to refetch data related to this stack
* frame (and the `threadId` is ignored).
*/
stackFrameId?: number;
};
}This event indicates that some memory range has been updated. It should only be sent if the corresponding capability supportsMemoryEvent is true.
Clients typically react to the event by re-issuing a readMemory request if they show the memory identified by the memoryReference and if the updated memory range overlaps the displayed range. Clients should not make assumptions how individual memory references relate to each other, so they should not assume that they are part of a single continuous address range and might overlap.
Debug adapters can use this event to indicate that the contents of a memory range has changed due to some other request like setVariable or setExpression. Debug adapters are not expected to emit this event for each and every memory change of a running program, because that information is typically not available from debuggers and it would flood clients with too many events.
interface MemoryEvent extends Event {
event: 'memory';
body: {
/**
* Memory reference of a memory range that has been updated.
*/
memoryReference: string;
/**
* Starting offset in bytes where memory has been updated. Can be negative.
*/
offset: number;
/**
* Number of bytes updated.
*/
count: number;
};
}This request is sent from the debug adapter to the client to run a command in a terminal.
This is typically used to launch the debuggee in a terminal provided by the client.
This request should only be called if the corresponding client capability supportsRunInTerminalRequest is true.
Client implementations of runInTerminal are free to run the command however they choose including issuing the command to a command line interpreter (aka 'shell'). Argument strings passed to the runInTerminal request must arrive verbatim in the command to be run. As a consequence, clients which use a shell are responsible for escaping any special shell characters in the argument strings to prevent them from being interpreted (and modified) by the shell.
Some users may wish to take advantage of shell processing in the argument strings. For clients which implement runInTerminal using an intermediary shell, the argsCanBeInterpretedByShell property can be set to true. In this case the client is requested not to escape any special shell characters in the argument strings.
interface RunInTerminalRequest extends Request {
command: 'runInTerminal';
arguments: RunInTerminalRequestArguments;
}Arguments for runInTerminal request.
interface RunInTerminalRequestArguments {

};
}This request is sent from the debug adapter to the client to start a new debug session of the same type as the caller.
This request should only be sent if the corresponding client capability supportsStartDebuggingRequest is true.
A client implementation of startDebugging should start a new debug session (of the same type as the caller) in the same way that the caller's session was started. If the client supports hierarchical debug sessions, the newly created session can be treated as a child of the caller session.

}The initialize request is sent as the first request from the client to the debug adapter in order to configure it with client capabilities and to retrieve capabilities from the debug adapter.
Until the debug adapter has responded with an initialize response, the client must not send any additional requests or events to the debug adapter.
In addition the debug adapter is not allowed to send any requests or events to the client until it has responded with an initialize response.
The initialize request may only be sent once.

}The disconnect request asks the debug adapter to disconnect from the debuggee (thus ending the debug session) and then to shut down itself (the debug adapter).
In addition, the debug adapter must terminate the debuggee if it was started with the launch request. If an attach request was used to connect to the debuggee, then the debug adapter must not terminate the debuggee.
This implicit behavior of when to terminate the debuggee can be overridden with the terminateDebuggee argument (which is only supported by a debug adapter if the corresponding capability supportTerminateDebuggee is true).

}The terminate request is sent from the client to the debug adapter in order to shut down the debuggee gracefully. Clients should only call this request if the capability supportsTerminateRequest is true.
Typically a debug adapter implements terminate by sending a software signal which the debuggee intercepts in order to clean things up properly before terminating itself.
Please note that this request does not directly affect the state of the debug session: if the debuggee decides to veto the graceful shutdown for any reason by not terminating itself, then the debug session just continues.
Clients can surface the terminate request as an explicit command or they can integrate it into a two stage Stop command that first sends terminate to request a graceful shutdown, and if that fails uses disconnect for a forceful shutdown.
