Evaluating an expression while debugging.

Open mtourne opened this issue 10 years ago • 2 comments

The only thing lacking for my ideal workflow with distel compared to the graphical debugger, is the ability to evaluate expressions from what I'm currently debugging.

Is there any way currently to have an interactive session within the debugger ?

I don't really understand that... "interactive session within the debugger"?

Something conceptually similar to the interactive session minor mode, but instead of evaluating expression into the shell they would be evaluated in the context of the debugger.

Like the line Evaluator: in this image of the graphical debugger : http://www.erlang.org/doc/apps/debugger/images/attach.jpg I believe there is no way to reproduce this Evaluator behavior with the current iteration of distel.
