Hover over undefined variable shows empty box
When you hover over a variable that is undefined, you get a tiny empty box. It should probably show undef
(and when the value is a string, put quote marks around it, so users can tell the string "undef"
apart from the value undef
).
This turned out (the hard way) to be a symptom of a more general problem. Apparently there is an unwritten assumption that debug adapters generate eval
-able strings in various places, https://github.com/Microsoft/debug-adapter-protocol/issues/36 including the data for hover
.
