Suggestions for how to get trepan3k speaking/working with DAP

[rocky]

I would like to investigate getting the Trepan debuggers , and more specifically trepan3k speaking DAP.

I would appreciate suggestions for learning how to write a DAP adapter for trepan3k and how to approach getting this done in an easy, incremental path. (Of course, I've started looking at the Wiki)

Looking at the code, I see lots of sophisticated stuff, like the language for testing which accommodates variations that happen normally in responses.

Thanks.

I might be in the wrong place here since this seems to be client code and I want to create a DAP-enabled Python server attached to trepan3k?

The code in the debugpy.adapter is the part that speaks DAP with VS code. For example, this is where we handle the initialize request:

debugpy/src/debugpy/adapter/clients.py

Line 148 in 3573ca0

def initialize_request(self, request):

.

Handling DAP is basically just listening to the messages and translating that into different things in the debugger. For example, this is where a thread suspend event is sent (like when hitting a breakpoint):

debugpy/src/debugpy/_vendored/pydevd/_pydevd_bundle/pydevd_net_command_factory_json.py

Line 389 in 3573ca0

def make_thread_suspend_single_notification(self, py_db, thread_id, thread, stop_reason):

Debugpy would then forward that message onto VS code.
