No way to copy full value from debugger console (repl)

[zardoy]

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes

It seems I was wrong in #187776 and the only way to copy values for now is clicking copy value from Variables view. Clicking Copy in debug console results in copying truncated version of big object or array. Behavior should be the same as in variables view.

Is this js-debug or in core @connor4312?

[connor4312]

This would be in core. I think the copy is just the default thing we get with the tree view, but if not it should still re-evaluate the expression in the clipboard context like it does for Copy in the Variables view.

@zardoy btw, for JS you can run copy(<expression>) in the REPL to get the value in your clipboard.

Thanks! I didn't know it. Is there a full list of command line APIs like copy?

I think we actually need a new DAP method to do this completely. If an element is in the console as a result of the user evaluating an expression, we can re-evaluate it (as in the PR I just made.) However, if an expression is just printed to the console otherwise (e.g. with console.log) we have no way to request the DA return a clipboard representation of that variable/value.
