[Question] handling of files <node_internals> about vscode-node-debug2 HOT 4 CLOSED

Can you explain what you mean by "handling"? These are just files which the debug adapter has guessed are probably node's files. We just add that for files loaded without an absolute path.

@roblourens thanks for the quick reply. In vscode when you click this file it is opened in the editor. I want to replicate that behaviour in emacs but it is unclear to me how to find that file. Excuse my ignorance, I am not very familiar with node internals.

I see. The client doesn't need to know anything about node internals, that's what the debug adapter is for :)

These files will be sent with a sourceReference:

https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-debugadapter-node/blob/df24f9770344b5c79c8e9e34cfee03c47f7f38f9/protocol/src/debugProtocol.ts#L1510

And you can request the source of that script by sending a sources request for that sourceReference:

https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-debugadapter-node/blob/df24f9770344b5c79c8e9e34cfee03c47f7f38f9/protocol/src/debugProtocol.ts#L983

And the adapter knows how to retrieve it from node. Hope that helps

Thank you and sorry for bothering you - I should have spent more time reading the spec!
