VdebugOpt defines "path_maps" as string

[askobara]

Hello!

Currently if I try run debug session after using
:VdebugOpt path_maps {'/remote/path':'/local/path'}
I get error

...
File "/home/user/.vim/bundle/vdebug/plugin/python/vdebug/opts.py", line 30, in get 
return as_type(inst.options[name]) 
ValueError: dictionary update sequence element #0 has length 1; 2 is required

Because g:vdebug_options["path_maps"] is a string instead dictionary as expect

Could you elaborate further. The path mapping works if set in the config but not when using the VdebugOpt path_maps .

I'm using let g:vdebug_options["path_maps"] = {} and that works fine.

Yep, you are totally right! If using let g:vdebug_options["path_maps"] all works as expected. But while reading docs I found VdebugOpt first and unsuccessfully tried to use it in command mode.

@askobara k thx so its a specific bug to VdebugOpt :)

Thanks for raising this. I remember seeing this now, but kept quiet about it, and planned to fix it. Obviously that plan fell by the wayside... 😁

[askobara]

Oh, no problem! It's no critical bug :)

+1 I have to change my vimrc and reopen vim if I'm running via cli on the host machine :(
