Is this project going to remove Debugging Support?

[ashleysommer]

With the deprecation and archival of both https://github.com/JuliaDebug/ASTInterpreter2.jl and https://github.com/JuliaDebug/DebuggerFramework.jl back at beginning of May 2020, and the fact that even before it was archived, julia-intellij relied on pinning old versions of these libraries to work, it seems like the chance of getting debugging working again in the current implementation is nil.

It appears ASTInterpreter2.jl has been replaced by https://github.com/JuliaDebug/JuliaInterpreter.jl
and DebuggerFramework.jl has been replaced by https://github.com/JuliaDebug/Debugger.jl

Is there any plans or motivation by the owners of this project to adopt these new libraries, in an attempt to get Debugging working again in IntelliJ?

I've written an updated IntelliJDebugger.jl file which works with the new libraries: JuliaInterpreter.jl and Debugger.jl

Ideally I should adapt the latest change of these libraries. However, I'm moving to other projects and is too busy maintaining this project. If you're interested, you can build this project yourself (and make sure you read what I said in #505) and update it.

I am only interested in:

• Answering questions (like how does some class work, how does some code gets generated, how does some functionality work), but not dumb ones (like why do you use tabs/spaces, why are you using this syntax instead of that syntax).
• Review pull requests. I will still be tough at code quality even if I don't code, but if you follow what I said or question me if you don't understand something, you'll be fine.
• Merge LGTM pull requests.
• Help publishing newer versions once we have got some nice updates.

If I have time and power, this is what I will do:

• Update the build script to adapt latest libraries, including making Cannot gradle build due to PsiViewer:193-SNAPSHOT #505 work
• Fix all the (fucking) deprecation warnings
• Bump the minimum supported intellij version to a higher one, like 193 or 201, so we can fix even more deprecation
• Make everything depending on the java module optional. So, it's again possible to use this plugin in PyCharm.

I hope this helps you, and other passersby who are potential contributors.
