Old mumps code debugging with vscode

Question

Question

David Cui · Jun 4

Hi in mumps, we have B "S". This way one can step command by command. How can we do this with vscode? F10 only step to the next line.

Say, if I have a line like

S A=1 S B=2 S C=A+B

I cannot step within the line. But with "S", one can.

Do you have any idea?

Thanks,

David

For test purposes you can split the line to 3 lines.

S A=1
S B=2
S C=A+B

Thank you Matthias.

When one faces thousands lines of old codes, it is not possible.

Have you tried F11?

You may have to change the settings in vscode to recognise F11 as a Debug Command, rather than the "Fullscreen" command.

Apologies, I don't have vscode installed, so can't check myself.

Hi Oliver,

Thank you so much. F11 won't work since it will get one into another function.

From I get in the 2024 summit, Maybe Iris 2024.2, 2024.3 for sure will support the feather I am looking for.

Thanks,

David

@David Cui
I can confirm that IRIS versions 2023.1.5, 2024.1.1 and 2024.2 will support this feature. It has not been released in the 2024.2 preview stream yet though, which is why the GitHub Pull Request that implements the VS Code-side work hasn't been merged.

This will need a server-side change as well as one in the VS Code extension. More info at https://github.com/intersystems-community/vscode-objectscript/issues/1375
