"No terminal for the current session" expected behaviour?

[paulhdk]

I'm using LLVM's lldb-dap to debug a c++ programme, which requires user interaction via stdin.

The nvim-dap-view console is showing "No terminal for the current session" on startup.
From my understanding this is not expected behaviour, is it? I should be able to interact with my programme via dap-view's console tab, shouldn't I?

Hey,

It actually is!! As a sanity check, you can notice that a terminal will not be spawned if you remove nvim-dap-view and use only nvim-dap directly.

I should be able to interact with my programme via dap-view's console tab, shouldn't I?

lldb-dap is a bit quirk in this regard. See the wiki here. You have to enable runInTerminal to achieve this behavior (which, according to the wiki, may have "security implications", at least on Linux).

Just a heads-up: from my personal experience, lldb-dap isn't that great. I no longer use C++, but back in the day I was a happy user of codelldb.

I don't know how I missed that, since I checked the llvm-dap docs several times, but yes, that was it! Thanks for getting back to me!

Yes, I'm aware of codelldb, but when I was looking for a LLDB DAP implementations, I figured the official one would be the way to go. Also, codelldb isn't available via Homebrew, which can of course be addressed, but I haven't gotten round to it yet. I might give codelldb a go in the future though now that you mentioned it!

No worries!

codelldb's only downside is that it's more taken as a "VSCode extension" than an actual DAP adapter that can be used elsewhere, which ends up affecting the package's distribution (and some settings only take effect on VSCode...)
