Not a maintainer, but I think more details on your issue would be helpful for anyone looking to assist!

Interested about that too. Are there either no available DAP or I have to install some stuff for python?

[weakphish]

There appears to be a DAP for Python, but I'm not sure if it's been integrated into Helix. What kind of work would that take?

debugpy in the author's todo list, i saw somewhere

I think I'm halfway there but it's not quite working... With this language config:

[[language]]
name = "python"

[language.debugger]
name = "debugpy"
transport = "stdio"
command = "python"
args = ["-m",  "debugpy.adapter"]

[[language.debugger.templates]]
name = "source"
request = "launch"
completion = [ { name = "entrypoint", completion = "filename", default = "." } ]
args = { mode = "debug", program = "{0}" }

The debugger starts and it halts program execution on the first breakpoint I set. But then it puts hx in the backgrounds and just messes up the terminal :sweat_smile: hahaha. If anyone has an idea what I'm doing wrong I'm all ears. Would love to get this working.

Same here the problem with DAP, i don't how to do it for python

It was farily easy to install pylsp with this wiki https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/wiki/How-to-install-the-default-language-servers#pylsp, i hope that is also possible for DAP

Hi @RmStorm, did you have any more success in setting up the Python DAP in Helix?

[rkshthrmsh]

It appears that Helix is, at the moment, unable to parse debugpy's output properly. Have opened an issue for this here: #6265. There's a TODO for this already.
