Summary

This release introduces stricter breakpoint requirements and implements automatic step-over behavior for capture actions to improve the reliability of variable inspection during debugging.

Breaking Changes

Mandatory variable field for all breakpoints

• All breakpoints now require a variable field (previously variableFilter was optional)
• Use variable: "variableName" to focus on a single exact variable name (case-sensitive)
• Use variable: "*" to opt into capture-all mode (auto-captures up to captureMaxVariables locals)
• This change affects both startDebugSessionWithBreakpoints and resumeDebugSession tools

Schema changes:

• variableFilter (array) → variable (string)
• Matching is now simple string equality instead of list membership
• No regex evaluation

New Features

Automatic step-over for capture actions

Capture actions (captureAndContinue and captureAndStopDebugging) now automatically perform a single step-over (F10 / DAP next) before capturing variables. This solves the common problem where breakpoints placed on assignment lines would capture pre-assignment values instead of the expected post-assignment values.

• Applied when autoStepOver is not explicitly set
• Can be disabled by setting autoStepOver: false
• Enhanced with explicit autoStepOver: true for before/after variable snapshots

Improvements

• Updated all documentation, examples, and test fixtures to reflect the new variable field requirement
• Improved error messages to guide users toward the correct schema
• Enhanced configuration descriptions to clarify capture-all mode (variable: "*")
• Updated VS Code quick-insert command to prompt for single variable name or *

Documentation Updates

• README.md: Updated breakpoint examples and usage instructions
• agents.md: Revised variable filtering semantics documentation
• package.json: Updated tool descriptions and schema definitions for both Language Model Tools

Technical Details

Modified files include:

• src/BreakpointDefinition.ts: Updated interface with new variable field
• src/session.ts: Implemented default step-over logic for capture actions
• src/extension.ts: Updated VS Code command prompts for new schema
• src/stopInfoMarkdown.ts: Updated variable display logic
• src/resumeDebugSessionTool.ts: Applied new schema to resume operations
• All test files updated to use new variable field instead of variableFilter

Summary

This release focuses on improving test stability and code organization for the Debug Adapter Protocol (DAP) integration tests and demo workflows. The changes refactor DAP helper utilities into a shared module, add comprehensive unit tests for serverReady functionality, and enhance the Playwright-based demo specification with better accessibility-based selectors and error diagnostics.

Improvements

• Code Organization: Refactored DAP type definitions and helper functions into a new startDebuggerToolTypes.ts module, improving code reusability and separation of concerns (src/debugUtils.ts:1, src/startDebuggerToolTypes.ts:1)

• Enhanced DAP Helpers: Improved the DAPHelpers class with better timeout handling and more robust request management across debug sessions (src/debugUtils.ts:49-77)

• Test Stability: Enhanced Playwright demo test with accessibility-based element selection, better error diagnostics including visible element dumps, and more reliable UI interaction patterns (playwright/demo.spec.ts:17-87, playwright/demo.spec.ts:167-186)

• Demo Configuration: Added demoRequest.json configuration file to standardize demo parameters and enable sharing between unit tests and Playwright integration tests (demoRequest.json:1-24)

• Test Coverage: Added comprehensive unit tests for serverReady functionality covering breakpoint triggers, pattern matching, HTTP requests, shell commands, and the full demo scenario workflow (src/test/serverReady.test.ts:1-394)

• Updated Demo Video: Refreshed the demo video to reflect current functionality and stabilized test behaviors (docs/pw-videos/demo.mp4)

• Test Infrastructure: Updated vscode-test-playwright submodule and adjusted Playwright configuration for better test isolation (external/vscode-test-playwright, playwright.config.ts:1)

Testing

• Added 4 new comprehensive integration tests for serverReady breakpoint scenarios
• Tests now validate breakpoint triggers, pattern matching, HTTP requests, and variable capture
• Improved test timeout handling for CI/CD environments (240 second timeout for complex debug sessions)
• Enhanced test server with marker comments for reliable line-based breakpoint targeting

Developer Experience

• Better separation of type definitions makes the codebase easier to navigate
• Shared demo configuration enables consistent testing across different test frameworks
• Improved error messages and diagnostics for DAP request timeouts

0.0.52

Summary

This release focuses on improving the development workflow by decoupling the Playwright demo from the standard unit test suite, making the test process more reliable and flexible across different platforms.

Improvements

Testing & CI

• Split Playwright demo from unit tests: The Playwright demo spec is now executed separately via npm run demo:pw instead of being embedded in npm pretest. This separation improves reliability on macOS and Windows by avoiding display server requirements during standard unit tests.
• Removed run-demo-pw-smoke.cjs script: Eliminated the 69-line wrapper script that handled cross-platform xvfb execution. Developers now run xvfb-run -a npm run demo:pw directly on Linux when needed.
• Simplified CI workflow: Removed PW_VSCODE_TEST_SKIP_SMOKE environment variable from GitHub Actions, as the demo is now handled by a dedicated job.

Documentation

• Updated README: Enhanced testing section with clear instructions for running the Playwright demo separately, including Linux virtual display setup with xvfb-run.
• Updated agents.md: Added documentation for the new npm run demo:pw command.

Configuration

• Updated .gitignore: Added .gh-artifacts/ to ignore downloaded GitHub Actions artifacts in local development.
• Test workspace configuration: Increased copilot-debugger.entryTimeoutSeconds to 60 seconds in the test workspace.

Breaking Changes

None.
