Yes this is correct, currently we use the name to compute the Variable id here
Thus we filter out any varialbe without a name here

In theory we could support one variable without a name per parent however I am reluctant to make that change.

What is the actual use case of this? Since none of the users complained about this.

fyi @weinand

I'm sending a 0-length string, not null, so it's not without a name. I think 0-length strings are the same as other strings.

@isidorn if chrome dev tools support this, we should too (even if it doesn‘t make a lot of sense).
If I remember correctly we even support variable names that start with spaces and we quote those names so that the spaces become visible.

Thanks for the feedback.
Chrome dev tools also support this.

I have pushed a fix for this.
@actboy168 it would be great if you could try this out tomorrow and let us know if the issue is fixed for you

I try today's vscode, 0 length string variable can already be seen. But it missing a colon.

The first line is a variable of 0 length string, the second line is a variable of 1 space, and the third line is a normal variable.

@actboy168 thanks for the quick response I have fixed this issue with c986442 and should be in tomorrow's insiders.
