This is a good way to see the results from the unit tests.
To use the debugger adapter (current in a very early stage), you need to include
`debuggerPort` in the `initializationOptions`. And attach the frontend to that
port. For VS Code, it is automatically done by the extension.
## Features
## Language Server Features
- **DocumentSymbol:** You may typeset your package in the same way that
Mathematica FrontEnd handles it: a cell begins with two lines of comments,
where the first line specifies the style of the cell and the second line names it.
So you may get the outline structure of the file.
``` mathematica
(* ::Title:: *)
(*Title of the file*)
### DocumentSymbol
(* ::Section:: *)
(*Section 1*)
```

### Hover
Provide documentations for functions and variables from the ``System` ``
context, such as `String` and `$Path`, the `MessageName` and the special
numerical literals with `^^` or `*^`.
![hover](images/hover.png)
### Completion
The completion is shown by the client automatically. Functions and system
variables from the ``System` `` context that matches the input would be
displayed. To enter an unicode character, you may use the leader key
<kbd>\\</kbd> followed by the alias just like <kbd>esc</kbd> in Wolfram
FrondEnd. E.g., `<esc>a` in the FrontEnd is input as `\a` in the editor and the
server will show you the available completions.
![completion-unicode](images/completion_alias.png)
**Completion Resolve:** Further information (such as documentation) would be
provided for the items in the list.

Color Models with constant parameters are able to show and modify.
(_Experimental, may have performance issues._)

This is an early release, so more features are on the way. Notice that,
syntax highlight will not be provided as long as it is excluded in the LSP,
but I believe there are plenty of good Mathematica highlighter available for
your editor.

## Debug Adapter Features
### Evaluate
Code evaluation can be run from the code action of the selection or code lens
below each section title. The results are usually shown in the debug console on
the editor side.
![evaluate-code-action](images/evaluate_code_action.png)
Expressions can also be directly input from the debug console.
![evaluate-debug-console](images/evaluate_debug_console.png)
### Variables
After evaluation, the symbol values can be retrieved from the editor. This
includes the own values of variables and the down/up/sub values of functions
defined.
![variables](images/variables.png)
The behavior of the variables mimics the workspace in MATLAB, so all the symbols
defined in the debug console as well as evaluated from the file will be
recorded. This also includes contexts other than ``Global` ``. The editor can
also watch on a specific expression after each evaluation if applicable.

features](https://microsoft.github.io/debug-adapter-protocol/specification).

### Design Principles
1. The files are located according to its context name. The `init.wls` is the
entry script that parses the commandline arguments, loads packages
and starts the server.
entry script that parses the commandline arguments, loads packages and starts
the server. This is intended to be different from a paclet, since it is not
intended to be normally used inside Mathematica / Wolfram Kernel.
2. We implemented an stateless server in ``WolframLanguageServer`Server` `` that
will parse and handle the messages.
