This is a language support for Mumps (M) running on Yottadb/GT.M It includes a debugger, syntax check and the syntax-highlighting module by David Silin with some minor improvements
-
Install the mumps-debug extension in VS Code.
-
Put the MDEBUG.m Routine in your M-Program-Directory and start it.
-
Edit the launch.json and set hostname of the host MDEBUG runs on.
-
Maybe change Port in launch.json and in MDEBUG.m if Port 9000 isn't useable.
-
Also set the localRoutinesPath to map the directory on your VS Code machine to the machine where MDEBUG.m runs.
-
Open a M-Program you want to debug in VS Code and start debugging via "F5"
-
New in Version 0.8.0: Press Ctrl-E to toggle between long and short Command-Format
-
New in Version 1.0.0: Variables are checked for correct NEWing.
If you don't want some or all variables to be checked you can change this in Settings->Settings->Extensions->mumps-debug
Example: Variables Y,Y1,YDATE,X are constants you don't want to NEW
you put in the settings above: Y.*,X
If you want to disable this check only in one file, just add a comment line: ;ignoreVars:abc,def.*
If you discover problems please send a bug report on the github-page.
