Not debugging, throwing this error

[mfussenegger]

Could you share some steps to reproduce this? I've no idea what you do to end up receiving this error.

I set up the code as per instructions, except I installed debugpy globally and changed the directory in the settings accordingly. I tried to test the plugin by setting a breakpoint and then running the debugger with :lua require'dap'.continue and it threw me this error. This error did go away after a couple seconds and was replaced with this one:

I'm on macos, I'm not sure if that matters.

Could you post the log file? (See :help dap.set_log_level())

The only two places in neovim that throw a "expected valid directory" message are related to the cwd property of termopen or jobstart.

nvim-dap doesn't use jobstart, but only termopen for the integrated terminal and it defaults to the current working directory, so I'm not sure how/why that would cause a failure - unless you changed the default value?

[Zigrino]

I was cd'ed into a folder while trying to debug, maybe that was the problem?

[Zigrino]

yeah it doesn't throw an error when I edited the file from home directory

[Zigrino]

also, is it possible to view variable values and stuff like that using this debugger?

Please have a look at the readme of nvim-dap and the help page. It is all documented.
