Can't copy value from the Debugger Variables list (Go/Delve)

[altimac]

Issue Type: Bug
I'm using the Go delve debugger (remote mode) inside VSCode and right clicking any of the local variables in the debugger (displaying the correct variable values!) only displays a disabled contextual menu where I can't copy (or set) value.

Copying a variable value from the debugger is pretty basic debugging workflow.

Thanks

Thanks for reporting @altimac

@roblourens Do you know what needs to be done to enable the context menu entries here?

I reported the bug at the wrong place first. @isidorn replied:

Please file this agains the go and delve debugger and tell them they have to support evaluateName property for this actions to be enabled

[isidorn]

@ramya-rao-a yeah, please support the evaluateName property.

Example: in the casses in the picture the evaluateName is equal to name, however inside the zone object if it had the id property the evaluate name of that would be zone.id
So evaluateName is the full path to get to the variable

Thanks @isidorn

Marking this as help-wanted. PRs are most welcome.

Code Pointers:

• Get started with a local set up of the Go extension
• Debug the debugger
• Update variableRequest to add the evaluateName property on the variables

This feature is now implemented with #2020

Until I release an update, you can get the fix using the beta version of this extension

This feature is now available in the latest update to the Go extension (0.6.0)
