Variables in nested block scopes not displaying as expected

[gokullan]

Description

This issue is with respect to the vimspector.Variables window. If there is more than 1 block scope, the child scope is getting created, but the variables in that scope are not updated, (i.e.), the parent block scope variables are shown in the child scope as well. A screenshot is attached for your reference.

Is it reproducible in vim?

Reproducible in Vim

Works with clean config?

Yes

Sample project works?

Not reproducible with sample project

Minimal Reproduction

List of steps to reproduce:

1. Open the project vimspector/support/test/node/simple/
2. In the simple.js file, write code that consists of multiple nested scopes (as shown in the screenshot)
3. :call vimspector#Launch() to start the debugging.

Expected Behaviour

On stepping into a child scope, the variables of this scope should be shown in the vimspector.Variables window (below the parent scope).

Actual Behaviour

The child block is created, but the variables are not showing up in this scope.

Additional information

I used the vscode-js-debug adapter.

Please can you provide the log file? It should be quick to check if this is a server issue or a vimspector issue.

[gokullan]

logs.txt I couldn't paste it as it exceeded the character limit.

[puremourning]

Thanks I can see that server is returning 2 blocks with same name. Maybe that messed us up. That's for the report will look into it.

@puremourning This can also be observed on "variables" command with shadowed local variables. It looks like these objects are stored by their name instead of individually inside vimspector. Other clients (nvim and VSC) display it correctly.

{"type":"response","request_seq":17,"command":"variables","success":true,"body":{"variables":[{"variablesReference":2,"type":"table","name":"this","value":"0x011E49E8","evaluateName":"this"},{"variablesReference":-1,"type":"integer","name":"a","value":"1","evaluateName":"a"},{"variablesReference":-1,"type":"string","name":"a","value":"xxx","evaluateName":"a"}]}}

local a = 1
do
	local a = "xxx"
	print(a) -- breakpoint
end
