Integration between nvim-dap-view and nvim-dap reg. watches

[lervag]

I'm curious, it seems like the watches created with nvim-dap, with dap.set_breakpoint([condition | nil], nil, ...) are not shown in the Watches view in nvim-dap-view. And vice versa: the watches created by nvim-dap-view with :DapViewWatch does not create a sign (I expected to see the DapLogPoint sign).

I'm probably just overlooking something in the docs, but this is at least somewhat unexpected for me.

Hey,

omg lervag from vimtex :D

I think you're mixing up log points (which aren't necessarily tied to a variable) with data breakpoints, which nvim-dap does not currently support?

The watches from nvim-dap-view do not use either of these mechanisms, they are just a list of expressions that are reevaluated when the session stops.

When nvim-dap eventually adds support for data breakpoints, we can look into a tighter integration with the watches view

Yup, that's me <3

Yes, probably. With nvim-dap-ui I do get a "Watches" view that shows these, but I understand from your explanation that it is a different mechanism.

Great! Thanks for the quick answer!

Well, if nvim-dap-ui supports something we are not covering, I can look into that. But from my quick test, log points do not show up in the "Watches" section. They do show up in the "Breakpoints" section, is that what you're referring to? If so, there's an open issue with a similar request. When we cover conditional breakpoints, we will also cover log points.

Thanks! You're right, the watches view was exactly the same as what you are doing, and the breakpoint "watches" are log points. Sorry for the noice, and thanks again for helping me see what's what - and thanks again for building nvim-dap-view, it's really useful to me!
