How do I use the same formatters as lldb command line program

[ahrm]

I am trying to debug a Qt project, and I want types like QString or QStringList to use the qt's custom formatter. When I add the following to my .lldbinit then the lldb command line program loads the formatters automatically:

settings set target.load-script-from-symbol-file true

And now in lldb command line when I do something like this:

p some_qstring

it is formatted correctly. I also have the following in my launch.json:

      "initCommands": [
        "command source ${env:HOME}/.lldbinit"
      ],

But when I try to debug the application in vscode, the values are not using the qt's formatter and even if I do p some_qstring in vscode's debugger console, it is displayed as if load-script-from-symbol-file is false.

Is there any way to tell codelldb to use the same formatters that the lldb command line program uses? thanks.

From what you describe, it should work. I’m not sure why it doesn’t.
Try settings show target.load-script-from-symbol-file to see whether it actually is set in the debug session.

It says:

settings show target.load-script-from-symbol-file
target.load-script-from-symbol-file (enum) = true

However, it also shows this error:

error: QtCore didn't find appropriate parent DIE for variable list for 0x0049b17c DW_TAG_variable (DW_TAG_variable).

I don't know if it is relevant or not.
