New Features

  • DFDL schema debugging
  • Output infoset to console, file or none
  • Scala implementation of the daffodil debugger
  • Infoset View
    • This view dynamically updates to show the user what the current state of the infoset looks like
  • Infoset Diff View
    • This view dynamically updates to show the user the difference of the infoset from the previous step to the current one
  • Hex View
    • This view displays to the user the hexadeciaml of their data file
    • This view also highlights the current byte of the data file being read
  • Session launch configuration:
    • Both options are done utilizing file called .vscode/launch.json. This file can hold multiple different debugging profiles that can be selected between in VS Code
    • Configuration via Launch wizard:
      • The launch wizard is an interactive GUI that helps user set the values they want for the debugging configuration
      • The launch wizard allows for creating the 1st debug profile, creating additional debug profiles and updating existing debug profiles.
      • If the profile created is the first one the file .vscode/launch.json is automatically created with the profile in it
      • If the profile is an additional profile it will be appended to the list at .vscode/launch.json
      • If the profile already exists in .vscode/launch.json, the profile in the file will be updated upon saving
    • via Manual Editing:
      • The other way to customized the launch configuration is by manually editing the .vscode/launch.json file.
      • This is done by editing the specific profile you wish to change. This allows easy changing of the schema file, data file and other settings.
  • Run currently opened schema file
  • Debug currently opened schema file
  • Daffodil toolbar and Command Palette:
    • Open Infoset View
    • Open Infoset Diff View
    • Open Hex View
    • Open Launch Wizard
