[Koha-devel] KTD: Remote debugging (new way)

[dcook at prosentient.com.au]

Hey Tomas,

 

Language Server Protocol looks super interesting. I’ve been using Visual Studio lately when writing C# and I have been feeling IDE envy when going back to writing Perl.

 

After reviewing https://langserver.org/, I think that Rich hasn’t organised the Github very well. In https://github.com/richterger/Perl-LanguageServer the Language Server is in lib/Perl and the LSP client is in clients/vscode/perl. Those should really be 2 separate repos imho, as they’re totally separate projects. The documentation leaves a lot to be desired too…

 

But after reviewing https://github.com/richterger/Perl-LanguageServer/blob/master/clients/vscode/perl/src/extension.ts, I think I have a better idea how it all hangs together. 

 

Looks like you have to pre-install Perl::LanguageServer on the target system (only install – not run), and then that Visual Studio Code extension starts up the server. The info at “Language server and runtime installation” at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/extensibility/adding-an-lsp-extension?view=vs-2019#get-started seems to indicate that as well. 

 

I commented on your Github issue too about how I see the Remote Debugging working. It looks like you tell Visual Studio Code what info to send via launch.json and then Perl::LanguageServer will create the desired process. That would require some changes to koha-testing-docker’s start up script. 

 

Anyway, looks interesting. I’d definitely be interested in trying this out. I’ll make a note to try it out sometime.

Maybe you've been following the latest German Perl Workshop 2020 news, but just in case, there's been an announcement of a full implementation of the Language Server protocol [1] for Perl [2].

 

As you can see in the langserver site, this is supported in most of the code editors available.

 

I haven't managed to have the time yet to put all the things together so we can use it to develop Koha.

 

If you have some ideas or time to discuss this, please let me know or share your ideas here so we can build an even better dev environment for Koha.

 

Thanks!
