Description

Hi everybody and thank you.

I see that the adapter interface evaluateRequest() is called and gives the text under the mouse.

However I can't associate this text with a program variable at runtime.

I need also the line/column of the token being hovered.

How do you do it?

Research direction

Start at the adapter interface's evaluateRequest() entry point and trace how the hovered text is passed during a debug session. Determine whether the request needs line/column data to associate the text with a runtime variable; done means a documented resolution or a clearly scoped change target.
