Is there a way to see the full toString() content of a variable, including newlines?
trafficstars
When debugging and hoving over a variable, or watching the variable in the Variables/Watch panels, is there a way to see the full result of toString() including the newlines?
Environment
- Operating System: Linux
- JDK version: 1.8
- Visual Studio Code version: 1.63.2
- Java extension version: 1.2.0
- Java Debugger extension version: 0.37.0
Steps To Reproduce
- Create an instance of a
SomeClassclass that has:
@Override
public String toString() {
return "toto\ntiti";
}
- Add a breakpoint on a line where you can hover the instance to inspect it.
Current Result
The popup debug window displays: SomeClass@123 "toto
Expected Result
The popup debug window displays:
SomeClass@123
"toto
titi"
Additional Informations
This can especially useful when the toString() result is something like a JSON object that is human friendly formatted.
Ideally the full result would be in a zone where it could be easily copied!
Look likes the newline is escaped, need to take a look with the upstream VS Code together about how to support that.
