Embed the NX Tcl Remote Debugger into the NX Postprocessor extension.
Add a new debugging client, protocol, and adapter logic to
drive attach/launch, breakpoints, stepping, and evaluation
via the runtime adapter.
- Introduced a client debugger with a new adapter and protocol
- Wired attach/launch, breakpoints, stepping, and evaluation
- Updated docs and licensing to reflect the embedded debugger
This change adds cached and incremental analysis for the LSP
server to improve responsiveness. The client now debounces
diagnostic updates to avoid excessive recomputation. The
server introduces per-document line caches and various
caches for completions, inlay hints, and metadata to
support faster, incremental updates.
- Debounce diagnostics on text changes to reduce noise.
- Add caches for completions, inlay hints, and metadata.
- Introduce incremental analysis with per-document line caches.
Adds configurable inlay hints for TCL procedures and merges signatures from built-ins and workspace files. The feature supports parameterNames and suppressWhenArgumentMatchesName and respects an optional range filter and current-file priority.
- Introduces built-in and custom inlay hint builders
- Honors inlayHints parameterNames and suppression options
- Adds tests validating hints, ranges, and priority rules
Adds a thread-safe incremental index and snapshot API for LSP.
Introduces cache invalidation and file operation hooks for delete
and rename. This keeps indices in sync with disk changes.
Supports reindexing TCL files from disk when needed.
- Adds workspace file change handlers to sync indices on delete/rename.
- Introduces locking and snapshot helpers to safely access shared state.
- Refactors to invalidate caches on edits and reindex TCL files.
Adds a signature help system for TCL commands.
The LSP server now exposes signature help for custom and
built-in MOM procedures, enabling parameter hints while editing.
Tests and documentation were added to cover common usage.
- Adds signature_help module to parse and present signatures
- Integrates with LSP server to provide signature help on the client
- Adds tests for custom and built-in procedures
- Move TCL folding range computation from client to language server, avoiding duplicate regions.
- Serialize language server restarts to prevent multiple server instances running concurrently.
- Pin server-side Python dependencies to specific minor versions for improved stability and predictability.
- Make debug server connection non-fatal, allowing the language server to start even if the debugger isn't attached.
- Optimize semantic token generation by caching Tclint plugin commands.
