Scope debug plugin: automatic refresh of Locals tab

[perezh]

Hi all,
I've successfully built the current master of geany and geany-plugins from source with the scope plugin. However, local variables are not updated automatically in scope. Actually, all the local variables disappear from the "Locals" tab whenever you step, step into, step out or run until cursor during the debugging process. If you right-click refresh in the tab, the local variables are correctly shown in the tab.
The test program is a simple C code which adds several numbers.

Is this a minor bug in the plugin? I currently tested on Linux Mint 18.3 Sylvia (based on Ubuntu 16-04) with a 4.10.0-38-generic 64bit kernel, and on a Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS with a 4.4.0-75-generic 64bit kernel.

Thanks in advance!

I have also noticed that before. But I guess that it's more the implemented behaviour. If it would be expected to update automatically, then there wouldn't be a "refresh" menu item.

I checked the source. As expected it is the implemented behaviour and so this issue should be labeled as enhancement.

Fine, thanks for your interest!

But, on other hand, locals tab refreshes automatically in Geany 1.24 installed on Windows XP, I've modified debug.c file to add this functionality on geany plugins 1.37.
