Deprecation warning: warning: $SAFE will become a normal global variable in Ruby 3.0

I found the root cause: it's because of vs code's evaluation of global variables during debugging. One way to solve this is by hiding the 'variables' sub-panel on the side-bar.

@qortex Can't find $SAFE occurrences, maybe the problem is on the vscode plugin side

[qortex]

Ok thanks, will look into it!

[dkallipo]

@qortex is there any solution to this problem? Why was the issue closed? Thanks

[qortex]

Don't know, didn't look into it more than that.
It would be interesting to look up the root cause and know where it comes from, from debase or the vscode plugin.

Which project is it located in? We could work towards a fix PR.

I think it might be handled on ruby-debug/ruby-debug-ide side, https://github.com/ruby-debug/ruby-debug-ide/blob/master/lib/ruby-debug-ide/commands/variables.rb#L41 //cc @ViugiNick

What I described was actually just a workaround to get rid of the annoying warning by just changing the VS code GUI settings. FYI, I resorted to downgrading to Ruby 2.6 because I was experiencing inconsistent and strange behavior by the VS code debugger after upgrading to Ruby 2.7. Not worth it.
