No debug output on pipe for powershell debugger on version nvim-dap 0.9.0

[Willem-J-an]

On version nvim-dap 0.8.0 when running powershell debugger the output would show like so:

dap> write-host 'hi'
dap> 
[debug-adapter stdout] hi

Since version 0.9.0 the output does not seem to be shown anymore:

dap> write-host 'hi'
dap> 

Is this a bug, or is there some sort of new configuration that I'm missing?

Thanks!

0.9.0 should still show a debug adapters stdout in the repl but there is a change in master that routes stdout to dedicated log files (#1405)

The change was motivated by debug adapters also using stdout or stderr to report their own kind of debug information and most use output events for the stdout/stderr of the application that's being debugged.

But some require an option to turn that on (e.g. for delve it is outputMode = "remote",).
Does the powershell debugger provide something like that?

There seems to be no such parameter available, (https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShellEditorServices/blob/main/module/PowerShellEditorServices/Start-EditorServices.ps1). Has it been considered to make this configurable on nvim-dap side?

Has it been considered to make this configurable on nvim-dap side?

Possible but currently somewhat reluctant given that sending the stuff on stdout is somewhat odd behavior for the debug adapter.
Could you maybe create an issue there to ask about using the OutputEvent instead? Would be interesting to see what they say.
