Ability to Change Variables During Debugging
One killer feature which is missing atm is the ability to do something similar to Pry where you can change the values of variables on the fly during debugging. Right now the plugin doesn't allow one to do this however I believe its possible to do with the standalone tool.
On a related note it is also possible to execute functions in Pry whilst debugging by dropping into an IRB like prompt whilst debugging the code. Having something similar to this ability for this plugin would cover a lot of missing functionality as well.
Thank you @ko1 I was looking at the left side of the screen on the variable view expecting I could edit things there, wasn't aware of the Debug Console. Variables weren't always appearing in the variable view for some reason which was also leading to some confusion. I'll try this again today and let you know how it goes, appreciate the help!
Alright the Debug Console does what I was after, thanks for explaining this @ko1, closing this issue as resolved since it seems my issues have been resolved.
Ah I mean variable pane (left side) should be modifiable. I forget why I disabled modifying it, though...
