Feature Request: Enable setting of variables during debugging

[quchunguang]

I can only show current value of variables by type its name directly.
How can i use dlv commands in vscode, like set x=1?

OS: Ubuntu 17.04 64bit

That is not implemented yet but is a very good feature to have.

We will have to implement the setVariableRequest of the DebugSession and use delve's set command there.

If anyone wants to try implementing this, I can help out.

Hi, Ramya Rao (@ramya-rao-a)!
Has work on this feature start?

Could you give a few pointers on how one would get started with this?

Thanks!

Radu Matei (@radu-matei) You can follow the instructions in the debug README to set up a local dev environment and start debugging the debugger.

This feature is now available in the latest version of the Go extension (0.8.0)
