Debugging: no tooltip for member variables

MarcHenderkes

For $this it shows:

for $this->fileservice it doesn't show:

likewise for all other variables

This doesn't always happen, by the way. Usually they show up just fine.

Hi Marc,

Thank you for reporting this.

I've tried to set up a test case in a similar fashion as it's on the screenshot. But I wasn't able to reproduce :-/

I'm going to try few more things, but if you'd have any additional observations it would help.

MarcHenderkes

Yeah that's the issue, I don't have a way of replication. The very same variable listed just fine after a VS restart, then another one somewhere else didn't. It's like the times where VS doesn't give the auto-import option for not yet imported namespaces/classes.

It always shows the info on the base variable, though.

Hah, I guess I was wrong.

A $user variable doesn't show a tooltip in any of the places I attempt to debug.

As far as we know, the expression $user has a special meaning in Visual Studio Debugger. We'll try to work around it in the case of PHP.

We actually handle this case by turning off the Visual Studio handling of the $user pseudo-variable. But it turns out this is broken in VS2019, I'm going to check why.

This should work in the next update.

Thank you, Marc!
